Answer 1

I think gum with artificial color and lots of sugar can stain your teeth, but a good gum should not harm your teeth. In fact chewing gums can help you clean deposits of food particles and even plague. It can even guard against mouth odors.

Answer 2

sugared gum-bad

no suger gum-okay

trident-great for your teeth, always eat that

Answer 3

Just get ones without sugar.

Answer 4

Only Gums With Suger Are Bad Some gums are good for your teeth.

Answer 5

i only chew trident and its good for your teeth

Answer 6

If the gum has sugar,then yes because that much sugar exposure causes cavaties. If its sugarless gum its ok. If it has Xylitol in it like Orbit gum, then it actually helps keep your mouth healthy.

Answer 7

in some cases yes in others no.

for example it's ok if it's to get a painful tooth out or it's sugar free.

Answer 8

Its bad to chew sugared gum. But chewing sugar-free gum is good. It creates saliva which washes out food from between your teeth, and prevents tarter build up.  

Answer 9

Chewing gum can be hard on your jaw. We're supposed to chew food, not gum!
