This is one of the historical dental trivia questions that people have been asking for many years. It is believed that the defenders of the Alamo were probably among the first to try chewing gum. The Mexican dictator Santa Anna is credited with introducing it. Here's another question about gum. Sugarless chewing gum is actually good for your teeth. It helps to clean away debris and promotes production of saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that break down sugars and antibodies that fight tooth decay.
