A member asked:

I crave tums (calcium carbonate) whenever i get a sweet tooth. been 7 months now. what is the worst that could happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Well...: Depends on how good your oral hygiene is. Keep in mind that Tums (calcium carbonate) do have a sweetener in them. If you're eating a lot of Tums (calcium carbonate) and not brushing, you could end up with a lot of cavities.
