“Is chewing gum bad or good for your oral health?”
I chew at least 3 pieces of gum everyday, usually sugar-free. But I'm only just now wondering what effects this could have on my oral health. Is chewing gum bad for me? Even if it's sugar-free?

Xylitol is okay, chewing gum can be hard on your TMJ.
Sugar gets a bad rap. It is one of few foods that actually dissolves. Gum will not hurt your teeth unless you sleep with it or let it lay on your teeth and gums
No.
Of course not.
