Yeah, possibly, on the calcium. Definitely on the brushing/rinsing.

Technically, chewing sugarless gum works to reduce tooth decay because

chewing it stimulates your saliva. More saliva=less decay. Why?

Because it dilutes and neutralizes the acid that is created when carbs.

and certain oral bacteria combine. Likewise, so will drinking water

after/during eating.
