Aspartame in chewing gum: Dental experts weigh in on the sweetener’s safety for teeth and gums
Fox News
After the WHO's recent claim that aspartame potentially could cause cancer, dentists shared their take with Fox News Digital on the artificial sweetener's impact on teeth and gum health.

"Chewing sugar-free gum may, when added to a regular home oral care routine of twice-daily brushing with fluoridated toothpaste and daily cleaning between teeth, contribute to reducing caries (cavities) risk," the ADA states.
