I chew gum almost every day, how does it help, ie. Stronger teeth? Stronger jaw?

Yup! stronger teeth as chewing gum will promote the secretion of saliva. Saliva is a natural oral defence mechanism against oral problem...but try to take chewing gum with less sugar or artificial sweetener such as aspartame and xylitol.

Fresher breath would be a benefit to chewing gum. If it's sugar free there might be some benefits in slightly cleaning teeth. Otherwise, I think that chewing gum is bad for your teeth overall and wouldn't really promote a stronger jaw...maybe a tired one though!

Umph none-no significance or benefits. Breath freshner in the beginning. Although some believe chewing signals to the brain you are eating and keeps you full. This has not proven true though.

Sugar free gum is beneficial because it causes saliva production. Saliva is a natural buffer(decreases the acidity in your mouth) to the acids released by bacteria which causes dental decay.
