Depends : Chewing gum can stimulate saliva and this can be a good thing, especially if your mouth is dry. It can bring the ph back to a normal level quicker. Xylitol gums can kill decay causing bacteria.. Gums with sugar is bad and will cause decay. Chewing can make TMJ pain worse. Hope this helps.

Bad: Gum with real sugar is terrible. I squeezes sugar between your teeth causing lots of decay. Gum without any real sugar is not bad, .
