The Only Gum I'll Let My Son Chew! By xshellyx on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Finally! A treat that I can feel good about giving my son! He loves candy, chocolate and gum... little does he know that this new Trident is actually good for his teeth!
I visited my dentist recently and saw that they had a whole line of products for sale which contained the ingredient xylitol. Xylitol has been shown to reduce plaque and fight against tooth decay. Imagine my surprise and delight when I saw that Trident gum now includes Xylitol! There are 8 yummy flavors compared to the one found at my dentist's office and Trident has a great pricetag! Our favorite flavor is Tropical Twist but we have yet to try all the flavors.
There are only 3.5 calories per piece and the flavor lasts quite a bit longer than other brands of gum! My son loves that he is getting a treat and I love that it's actually fighting cavities!

Trident gum is the bee's knees - but watch out for the chemicals.
Never heard of this or never paid any attention anyway.
I like Trident gum and the Tropical Twist is a great flavor.
Xylitol is an ingredient that is showing up in a lot of places... I just want to make a note that it is extremely important to keep anything and everything with Xylitol away from our pets as even the smallest amount can cause severe symptoms or death.
