No and possibly: Moldy cheese has no ill effects on teeth. Mold on soft cheeses should be discarded as it can send threads throughout the cheese and bacteria and other pathogens may grow along with the mold. It is less of a problem with harder cheeses. Not all molds pose risks. Some cheeses use molds to produce the flavor. It would be safer just to discard moldy cheese.

Eating moldcheese: You may be able to prevent two of the most common diseases of modern civilization, tooth decay (caries) and periodontal (gum) disease, simply by improving your diet but I do not think that eating mold cheese specifically has any specific effect on teeth or gums.In reference to effect on general health as far as allergic reaction or any other issues check with your physician
