Do you know you shouldn't chew the gums for a long time?

I chew gum and I brush my teeth. If we listened to and followed everything we hear that might be the least big negative we were never do anything. They have even said that we can poison our systems with too much water. I think that rule should be everything in moderation.

I don't really like to chew gum so this won't be much of a problem for me but if you fear that it might cause tooth decay then you should choose gums that are sugarless which is available. This sugarless gums would clean your teeth and not leave sweet residue on your teeth and therefore no fear of tooth decay.

This is new to me, I usually chew gums for 30min to an hour if I am nervous. I'll limit this habit, Thanks for the info.

I didn't know that length of time could do that. A bartender I met recently told me that her jaw muscles were 'broken' on account of she chews gum too hard! Maybe cutting her gum-time down to 15 minutes could've taken care of that!

Ohh i don't know about this. I used to chew gums but not any more. I heard its not good for health but not this reason what you mentioned. Thanks alot. yes brushing teeth before going to bed is much more safer .

I really appreciate what you just told me and the researchers. I did not really know that, an everytime i chew gum it stay in my mouth for at least 30 minutes. Now people on mylot should know about these warning. I will stop eating gums because i want my teeth to look good.

For some reason I find that if I am chewing gum for too long I start to reach as though I am going to be sick, can't fathom out why but it has put me off chewing gum, I used to chew gum because they say it helps produce saliva which can kill off bacteria in your teeth.

i cannot chew gum for very long because i find that my jaws get sore but my daughter loves her gum and either chews gum or bites her nails (she has really good teeth like her daddy.) honestly, i don't know which is worse.

We should certainly brush our teeth regularly that's for sure! I do not chew a lot of gum except when I am running. It helps my mouth not be so dry while I have it open and breathing (or panting! lol ) Other than that I don't use gum much. I have used it late at night to help me stay awake when I am working on a big project though!

1st time i heard about this. does this include those gums that have zero sugar?

Hmm.. Never heard about it before than this.. Thanks for the info. Personally I don't chew the gums more than five minutes, and that also rarely. I just chew them till they have taste after they became tasteless I just throw them away. But never heard about that they can be bad for health if we chew them for long. Is it applied for all kind of gums?

Hi friend, you shared a valuable information here. I am not interested in chewing gum, previously i chewed gums once in a while but after reading the cons of the chewing gum, i give up that habit. Good to know you are not chewing the gums now, keep up this good habit forever

My grandfather was a dentist for over 3o years here in mexico. he used to tell us all the time not to chew gum at all. it was really bad for ones teeth. he said it caused many teeth to go bad, and even go crooked. Ive never been much of a gum chewer after hearing that from him. Take care there. merry xmas.....

ohh my!! but I love chewing gums and make balloons with it. ok from now on, I will avoid this, thanks for this info you brought up.

ohh....is it?15 minutes? well Thanks for the information. usually I chew the gums for about half an hour or something near to that. I don't know why I am that much addicted to chewing gums. Now I try to reduce chewing it less than 15 minutes. Thanks buddy
