One 2007 study found that chewing mastic gum may help prevent cavities. After 15 minutes, people who chewed mastic gum had lower levels of certain bacteria in their mouths. The bacteria levels were even lower after 135 minutes. A placebo did not provide the same results.

Mastic gum (Pistacia lentiscus) is a resin native to the Mediterranean region obtained from the mastic tree. Also known as tears of Chios, mastic gum is produced in ''tears'' or droplets traditionally on the island of Chios, Greece. Historically used to freshen breath, its pine-like flavor was also used as flavoring.
