When chewing gum sticks to your teeth, it is typically due to the gum's sticky texture and the presence of sugar or artificial sweeteners in the gum. The sticky nature of the gum allows it to adhere to the enamel of your teeth, causing it to get stuck. To remove gum from your teeth, you can try gently pulling it off or using a dental floss or toothpick to carefully dislodge it. It is important to be cautious when removing gum from your teeth to avoid causing damage to the enamel or gums.
