How should you use it, and in what situations is it handy? — Altai zivitsa siberian lach resin with beeswax and peppermint chewing gum N4 3.2g

This resin gum makes most sense after meals, when you want to clean your teeth mechanically, reduce the feeling of plaque and freshen your mouth. It is also handy after foods with a strong smell — coffee, garlic and the like.

The technique is simple. For the first few seconds the piece may be firm, so you first chew it gently, letting the warmth of your mouth soften it. As you keep chewing, several things happen at once:

• saliva production is stimulated, and saliva helps to clean the teeth and the mucous membranes naturally;
• the firm chewy texture additionally removes food residue from the surface of the teeth;
• the mint and the resinous base leave your mouth feeling fresh.

The format is not tied to home: the resin gum is easy to carry with you when travelling or at work, where you cannot brush your teeth. It is important to understand that it is an addition to your hygiene routine, not a replacement for regular brushing with a toothbrush. If you feel any discomfort while using it, stop using it.
