Well i've been trying to get into a good dental routine for my teeth, aside from brushing twice a day and using mouthwash the biggest issue i'm having is the problems caused by soft drinks, in my case it's Coke. Having been on the stuff for years i've developed quite an addiction to caffeine and my dentist recommended that I start by switching to Diet Coke (or Coke Zero, same thing really).

So even though i've greatly reduced my daily sugar intake there still lies the issue of acid erosion, i've researched a multitude of ways to work around this with rinsing after drinking being a common favourite.

However, my taste buds are douchebags and as a result i'm not a big fan of water, so instead I came across another method which is chewing sugarless gum.

So my question is how effective is chewing gum after drinking acidic drinks/food?
