Does chewing gum rotten your teeth?

I chew on a daily basis (after lunch). I was wondering if chewing gum is unhealthy for your teeth. Or would it just depend on what type of ingrediants are in the gum. I chew Orbit (because of the awesome flavors). Some specific answers would be greatly appreciated!

Reply:Actually it is good to chew sugar-free gum after meals, it gets all the residue out of your teeth and pretty much polishes them.

But in my personal opinion i think that it actually helps your teeth even though it is sugary.





But it exercises your gums.
Reply:it depends on if the gum is loaded with sugar. chewing gum or eating a peppermint is good since it helps you to produce more saliva which helps you digest your food better. i don't know if orbit is sugarless or not, but if it is, i'd say you're ok. :) its just went it's loaded with sugar is when it's a problem.
Reply:Sugar free gum doesn't...
Reply:despite what people say, chewing gum does not harm you. Dentists actually recommend it after you get your braces off because it helps strengthen your teeth after they've been straightened. As long if the gum is sugar free, you're fine.

Reply:I don't think you have anything to worry about. Just make sure it's sugarless, because you don't want the sugar sticking to your teeth. THAT could give you some problems.
Reply:Sugar free gum will not rot your teeth. It isn't good for your TMJ though. You may have some TMJ problems from the constant chewing movements.
