It isn't bad to chew it, just choose a sugar free gum, they say chewing gum like trident can help fight cavaties after meals too.  \n\nfor everyone around you when you think you might have a little bit of a bad breath thing going on, we thank you when you pop in a piece of gum.  Sometimes little things go a long way.

ha ha ha.. 7 hrs? Even something as durable and tough as chewing gum will start getting digested after such a long time! After all, digestion does not start in your stomach but in your mouth with enzymes that break down carb-chains into smaller carb-pieces... That goes for chewing gum as well!

Floss your teeth every day, too.  Once every 24 hours is enough.  Flossing gets the crud a brush can't reach, and that crud supports bacteria that can give you bad breath.

It's not really good to only eat one huge meal a day.  You should be eating 3 square meals or even eating small portions 5x a day.  You might mess up your metabolism if you are only eating once a day.  You should talk to a nutritionist who could better tell you how your eating habits are affecting your body.

It's actually bad for your gums, not your teeth. You're brushing for way too long.

Chewing does burn calories, but at a slow rate. If you chewed at 100 chews per minute for every waking moment, you'd lose 5kg/year. As long as it's sugar free you won't gain weight & the saliva it's making you produce is good for your teeth.

Yes it absolutely is true. I take my pulse while I chew gum on the treadmill and it is at least ten points higher when I am chewing gum. Also when I have had my BP checked.

At the most your gums might be a bit sore for a day or two. That should be about it.

Yes, this is usually a sign of gingivitis which is the 1st stage of periodontal disease.  It is also an indication of poor oral hygiene.  Make sure to brush reguarly (2-3) times per day for at least 2 minutes with a soft toothbrush and also make sure to floss at least once a day.  You will notice that as you begin to do this on a regular basis that the bleeding will stop and the gums will become healthy again.  However, the first step you need to take is to get in to see your dentist for a cleaning and an evaluation and make sure you continue to see your dentist every 6 months for regular check-ups.

You need to get a soft toothbrush and brush your teeth and gums 2-3 times a day, and FLOSS twice a day.  You need to follow up with a salt water rinse to toughen your gums.  If you don't do this, you will get gum disease and rot your teeth.  The bleeding is a sign of problems.  I learned the hard way from a military dentist.

Though your stomach can't break down a piece of gum the same way it breaks down other food, your digestive system can move it along through normal intestinal activity (in other words, it comes out the other end.) Chewing gum has five basic ingredients - sweeteners, corn syrup, softeners, flavors and gum base (the part that puts the "chew" in chewing gum). The first four ingredients are soluble, meaning they dissolve in your mouth as you chew. Gum base doesn't. And although it isn't meant to be swallowed, if it is, it simply passes through your system, just like popcorn or any other form of roughage. It starts traveling down your esophagus, into your stomach, enters the small intestine, and makes its way to the large intestine. This normally takes only a few days.

yes. Its unhealthy for anyone to eat only one meal a day. You'll lack vitamins and all that good stuff... if u only eat one meal a day.  And u need all those vitamins.. your young and ur body is still growing. So.. please..take care of your body and eat more than one meal a day.

Same thing with me when i had Gum, My Ortho Said IF you have to be able to chew gum, chew sugarless gum in the back of your mouth. =]\n\nEdit: I ate gum anyways, even if it wasnt sugarless... and it never got stuck, but you should be safe and just eat sugarless.
