The routine. “It’s a lot.”
I brushed 3 times a day, scraped my tongue, rinsed, flossed after every meal. It’s a lot.
My mouth still felt dry and tasted off by 10am.
I thought this was just me. Then I found out how many women say the same thing.
The chew, in 10 seconds.
Chewing gets saliva flowing. The American Dental Association notes that the act of chewing gum increases salivary flow.
Mints dissolve in minutes. Mastic is a firm chew that lasts.

What the studies looked at.
In a controlled study, chewing mastic gum for 15 minutes left significantly fewer bacteria in saliva than a placebo gum, up to 2 hours later. (Aksoy 2006, small study, mastic chewing gum.)
In a small double-blind pilot study, salivary bacteria were significantly reduced during the 4 hours versus a placebo gum. (Takahashi 2003, small study, mastic chewing gum.)
Small studies of mastic chewing gum in healthy volunteers (20 to 25 people), not in women over 50. Not a health claim for Gum of Gods.
The label.
Regular gum base contains plastics.
Classic: Chios mastic resin. That’s the whole list.
It fits my routine.
After coffee, at 3pm, after dinner. The tin lives in my purse.
What to expect
- It starts crumbly. Give it a minute, then it turns into a firm, smooth chew.
- If it softens, a sip of cold water firms it up.
- It tastes like a pine forest, not candy.
- Start with 1 to 3 pieces, let them sit 15 to 30 seconds, then chew as long as you like.
- Mastic gum is not recommended for people with dental work (fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, dentures or braces).

“I am addicted to this stuff! I love that it is natural and well sourced. The taste is pretty neutral to me but is good. Like a hint of pine. It is crunchy at first but then chews like normal gum once you get it going.”
