![]() Do you feel that if you can't brush your teeth, that chewing gum is a good alternative? Are you always chewing gum—at home, work, everywhere? You may feel that you are helping your oral health, but you may have wondered if your habit is causing any long-term damage to your jaws and teeth . Dr. Jay Marks agrees that, based on what we currently know, there is no real evidence that chewing gum is bad for your teeth or jaws. However, it may be bad for your teeth, depending on the type of gum you are chewing, . If you chew gum, Jay M. Marks, DMD of Danbury, CT, suggests you avoid gum packed with sugar. You're better alternative is to select gum that contains Xylitol, a special sugar alcohol that inhibits the bacteria that cause decay and also tastes sweet. If you feel that you need more advice concerning your oral health, please contact our office! by Dear Doctor Magazine
