Sugar-free gum doesn't do much harm. Whenever I go to the dentist, they're chewing gum. Can't be all that bad for you...

yeah it probs has an effect on your teeth. gum is basically wax and sugar plus some other crap like flavoring.. which also contains sugar. it kinda depends on the brand and flavor of the gum. 5 gum, and stride gum are probably the sugariest gum since they have a lot of different flavors. the minty kinds you like probably do have sugar in them but not as much. look at the back of the packages, they have the ingredients. you can do some research and look at them and compare them with other brands and flavors and see how they vary.

Hi,
Yes, chewing gum can be harmful to your teeth if you don't take the precautions. Gum leaves a sugary residue on your teeth and may also have additives that will make your teeth rot over a long period of time. If you don't want to harm your teeth, you can always just switch to a sugarfree gum or make sure you brush your teeth three times a day.
Don't get me wrong, there are many health benefits as well :) If you would like to know more, check out this site: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
