Do I have to brush after chewing sugar-free gum?

Let's say my last meal of the day is at 5pm. After I eat dinner, I floss, brush, waterpik, and use mouthwash.





Now, let's say around 8pm I want to chew some sugar-free gum. Is it necessary for me to brush my teeth again before I go to bed, just because I chewed sugar-free gum?

There are calories in gum, so its not like drinking water (where you don't need to brush after drinking it).


I find that when I've been chewing gum (I usually chew Trident or Stride), even after I have brushed my teeth, my teeth don't feel as clean.


It's probably a good idea to brush them; just because there isn't sugar doesn't mean that there isn't other ingredients in gum that could eat away at your teeth.
