:I checked in with Wikiproject dentistry and was given to understand that while there are some benefits, they are pretty limited and in no way equivalent to those provided by brushing and flossing. Since this appears to be a determined campaign by a for-profit gum and candy manufacturer, my concern is that we ensure that any claims are treated with appropriate weight so that we do become an unwitting advocate for what might otherwise be un-notable results. I'm not trying say we shouldn't mention it under any circumstances if it would otherwise be in the article. Just recommending that any inclusion be made by regular editors who don't have a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] as they would if Wrigley's did not appear to be promoting the concept. -- [[User_Talk:SiobhanHansa|Siobhan Hansa]] 17:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::You are right and I didn't really answer your questions. Chewing gum DOES NOT form a part of an oral hygiene program nor does it significantly reduce plaque. Therefore I would take it out of this article. In fact, some eminent periodontist have suggested that chewing gum can be detrimental if done excessively as it can overload the teeth over time causing bone loss. If you want to take it out, I am agreed. Also, I am a member of the WikiProject Dentistry :) [[User:Dr-G|Dr-G - Illigetimi non carborundum est.]] 19:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
