What types of bubble gum are good for my teeth?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Sugar-free: Any sugar-free gum can be good for your teeth--especially if sweetened with xylitol--a cavity fighting sweetener. Be careful: at 31, you must be careful to not abuse your jaw joints (tmjs) while chewing!

Xylitol: One of the best new products being used in gums and mints is xylitol. Bacteria can't live on it. Look for it.

Sugar Free: Any chewing gum is fine as long as it has no sugar or sugar products. Some chewing gums has the word dental on them indicating that they can be used safly with dental restorations.
