Answer 1

If you use whitening gum it can help more then hurt. But aside from that chewing gum makes you hungrier the might be a slight risk of wearing out your jaw 20-30 years down the line.

Answer 2

Chewing gum is really good for your teeth and jaws.  It helps to prevent cavities and keeps your breath fresh smelling.  Keep chewing as much as you can!

Answer 3

the  gum may not be bad for your teeth but you may wish to reconsider sugarless gum... google "aspartame kills" on the internet and see what a toxic chemical you are exposing yourself to on a daily basis.

Answer 4

Stride is the only gum that has been proven bad for you. It actually has appetite inducers in it, which make you hungry. Dentists only approved gums are trident and orbit, so stick to those if you plan on chewing that much gum.
