Is chewing gum good or bad for you jaw?

Can be Either: If you need stimulation of saliva due to dry mouth or can not brush after meals, gently chewing a sugarless gum may help. Gum with xylotol can reduce future decay. These are good uses of gum. Over-zealous, forceful gum chewing can cause excess wear and tear harm to the jaw joints and muscles, or can make jaw pain worse in someone with TMJ disorders.

Jaw: It depends. I conducted a chewing research study involving people who had jaw problems. The findings were that chewing gum had different effects on different people. Some people's jaw issues improved while others worsened. How does it make you feel? That will be your answer. If it makes things worst-avoid it.
