Question 1

what are the advantages/disadvantages of chewing gum a lot?

Accepted Answer

Let'sGumUpTheWorks!!: What a great tension-reliever! As long as you don't chew too hard. It would then be the somewhat equivalent to grinding your teeth. So chew gently and if it hurts, stop for a while. Great for a dry or foul-smelling mouth, like after coffee. But it can be seen as somewhat crude if you do it at work or to prominently. Whether sugar or sugarless is up to you. I do sugarless. Wrigley 5 Gum rocks!

Question 7

can you chew amox tr-k clv 875-125mg tab?

Accepted Answer

Maybe...: The antibiotic should still be effective, but it probably will be a lot more difficult to take than simply swallowing the pills. It would be bitter and bad tasting.

It will be much easier to swallow and assure proper dosing.

Pain With Chewing: Pain with chewing is often caused by TMJ dysfunction, or pain in the jaw near the ear.  An anti-inflammatory drug such as Ibuprofen or naprosyn (naproxen) should be helpful.  Occasionally, a mouth guard can be molded by your dentist to give you added relief.

Question 9

how can i stop my excessive chewing habit?

Accepted Answer

This is unusual: I am going to take a stab at what you mean.  Horace fletcher, a traveling speaker in the early 1900s advocated chewing your food 20 to 30 times before you swallow it, in order to thoroughly pulverize it and mix enzymes for pre-digestion to create a healthy quality of food for the digestive tract.  Most americans under chew by 70%.  5 to 10 swipes and swallow with poor digestion following.  Count!

Question 10
