A member asked:

I've already brushed my teeth and want to chew 5 gum because it's sugar free. is it bad for my teeth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It should cause no harm and may even help. The extra saliva will help neutralize acids that cause decay. It can also clean areas you missed. If it contains xylitol then it will even help kill bacteria that cause decay.
