Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product is sugar-free and extremely low in calories, fat, and sodium per serving, which is positive for dental health. However, the score is lowered due to the heavy reliance on artificial additives, including the sweetener Aspartame (with health warnings), artificial colors, and polyols that can cause digestive issues. It is a non-nutritive confectionery item.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Post-Meal Oral Care
After eating or drinking, chew one piece of Happydent Wave for up to 20 minutes. This stimulates saliva flow, which helps to wash away food particles and neutralize acids. Discard gum responsibly after use.
Health Benefits
Aids in maintaining dental hygiene and freshening breath without any sugar intake.
Cognitive Focus Chew
During tasks that require concentration, such as studying or driving, chew a piece of sugar-free gum. The act of chewing can increase alertness and reduce feelings of stress. Use for a short period to avoid jaw strain.
Health Benefits
Offers a non-caffeinated, calorie-free method to potentially improve focus and relieve mild stress.
Additive Analysis
The additives used are approved by FSSAI for this food category. However, the product contains Aspartame, which requires a warning for specific groups (phenylketonurics, children, pregnant women). It also contains Polyols, which can have a laxative effect, and an artificial color (INS 122). Risk is low for the general population in moderation but notable for sensitive individuals.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are factually accurate. The product is indeed sugar-free, contains xylitol, and the claim about neutralizing plaque acids is a recognized benefit of sugar-free gum. The necessary statutory warnings are provided on the back of the package, making the product compliant with FSSAI regulations.
