The Wrigley Oral Healthcare Program (WOHP) partners with dental professionals worldwide, helping them improve their patients’ oral health through one additional simple and enjoyable step in their daily routine: chewing sugar-free gum after eating and drinking.
Since the 1930s, Wrigley has been leading research to understand the role of gum in oral care . Based on decades of research, today regulatory bodies, national governments, the FDI World Dental Federation and around 20 national dental associations worldwide recognize the oral care benefits of chewing sugar-free gum.
WOHP has supported independent clinical research into the benefits of chewing gum for more than 25 years.
Global health economic data suggests that increasing sugar-free gum consumption could reduce global dental expenditures from treating tooth decay by US$4.1 billion a year. Download Infographic (PDF) and Economic Benefits Study (PDF)
Independent research supported by Wrigley funding has continued to have an impact on the oral care arena for nearly 90 years.
