Chewing spearmint gum raises the temperature in your mouth primarily due to the active ingredient, menthol, which stimulates thermoreceptors in the oral cavity. This stimulation creates a cooling sensation that can paradoxically make the area feel warmer as blood flow increases to the area. Additionally, the act of chewing itself generates heat through increased muscle activity and saliva production. Together, these factors contribute to a temporary rise in perceived mouth temperature.
