no gum at all
Answer: The fifth dentist was more interested in making money off of tooth decay caused by gum containing sugar. jk
Actually, in that 1976 survey, well over 90% of the dentists surveyed were in favor of patients chewing 'sugarless gum,' not necessarily Trident gum. It was the marketing people who came up with the slogan "Four out of five dentist recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum."

Find a Dentist to Trust With Your Teeth?
Whether moving to a new city, or wanting to change dentists, it is important to find a dentist that is reliable, professional and affordable. Finding a good dentist isn't always as easy as it sounds. There are actually horror stories about poor quality dental work done by a poor dentist. A good way to start is by asking co-workers, neighbors, friends and family. If a dentist has been used by them for several years and there are no problems, this could be a perfect dentist to use. For those people who have moved far from home and don't know anyone well enough to ask, there is some research that should be done to make an educated choice. Going online is one way to conduct that research. First, find out which dentists use the dental insurance. Some dentists only use certain insurance companies and the costs could be extremely high for the unwary patient. It's also very simple to get a list of participating dentists from the insurance company. It is important to find a dentist that can do almost everything with the teeth. There are some dentists who will not perform a four-root root canal on a molar. Some dentists are specialists in root canals only. If your dentist can do this job there won't be a need to see someone else. A good dentist will have a hygienist to clean and check the teeth at least twice a year. This check-up should also include the gums. If the teeth are prone to decay and cavities, the dentist should suggest more cleaning visits during the year. This is only done as a preventative measure. Find a dentist who has the latest in dental equipment. The more up-to-date he is, the more comfortable the patient will feel in the chair. The latest equipment will ensure that all sanitary conditions prevail and that the patient will feel minimal pain. Once the dentist is chosen and the first appointment is over, the dentist should talk with the patient about his particular dental care and issues. There should never be a feeling that the patient is being rushed out the door.
