Can you tell me docs, is chewing gum all the time bad?

Possibly: ANYTHING you do too much, may be bad. If you have been chewing gum 'all the time' for years::: I have seen increase of TMJ pain/problems, and/or nighttime teeth-grinding when sleeping, and/or increase in headaches occurrence.

Well, actually, yes: headaches, jaw problem, stomach pain and artificial sweeteners, just to name few.
