No its not its really good for your jaw muscle's But the sweeteners and acid can damage your enamel. It is good for your jaw muscles and can keep you alert. There are good things and bad things about everthing. Overall gum is not good for teeth. Some gum is good for you. Sugar free gum is better for you than gum sweetened with sugar.

That can be debated because in general Chewing Gum is not good for your teethe. Despite what the package says, chewing suger free gum will not help your teethe. It is better than chewing other gum but still my dentist recomends that I chew NO gum what so ever. But an occasional peice will not hurt, either.

Here is the quick answer. Chewing gum increases saliva which is good for fighting decay and dry mouth. It can help clean the mouth after eating when brushing is not possible. But, if it is sweetened by sugar, you've undone all the good and done a lot of harm. Sugar causes tooth decay...cavities. Look for sugarless gum in general and gums containing xylitol in particular

Chewing gum can damage your teeth because the sugars in gum can make it a great place for bacteria. You should try to chew sugarless gum.
