Can mint really cool water down?
Mint doesn't actually cool your mouth down. What happens is that the minty chemicals stimulate certain receptors in you mouth to send signals saying "hey it's cold in here". The culprit is a protein called the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8), which is expressed in sensory neurons. TRPM8 is an ion channel, a type of protein that regulates the movement of ions across the membranes of cells. Just like only certain keys can open a lock on a door, only certain stimulants can open the ion channel and access the cell. TRPM8 opens in the presence of cold temperatures and allows Na+ and Ca2+ ions to enter the cell. This changes the electrical charge within the neuron and the information being sent from the neuron to the central nervous system, eventually leading to the perception of cold.Even after the mint is gone, a little bit of the minty chemical will remain and the sensory neurons will stay sensitized. Drinking anything cold or even taking in a big breath of cool air will cause the neurons to fire again, and the double whammy of the cool temperature and the menthol will make your mouth seem extra cold. Even a hot drink will seem weirdly cool and refreshing.
Why does any drink feel ice cold after eating a mint?
"According to a group of scientists in San Francisco, the reason is that the same nerve fibres that signal hot and cold are also sensitive to menthol, an ingredient in mints. Normally when the temperature changes it causes pores on the surface of the nerve cell to open and close, changing the electrical activity of the cell, which the brain interprets as a change in temperature. But menthol can also affect the function of the pores in the same way and triggers the nerve cell into thinking that the temperature is lower than it is." -TheNakedScientists.com
Does chewing gum mint flavored affects a persons mouth temperature?

How does mint gum change your mouth's temperature?
I just conducted this experiment for my Science Fair project using Dentyne Fire and Dentyne Ice. The Dentyne Ice does not make your mouth's temperature cooler like you'd think it would. Instead it actually raises the temperature, most likely from the heat produced in the process of your mouth chewing. The Dentyne Fire However raised the temperature higher that the Ice did. So, for the answer for your question, it raises the temperature of your mouth.
