For your teeth, not really unless it has sugar. If you have braces or any other appliances, yes. It is for your stomach since you are swallowing saliva, your stomach is breaking down the saliva and then you will get a stomach ache. You tire out your stomach and you will get a stomach that cannot be relieved other than time going by. You can eat it once and a while but not for long or often.

no. The sugar can be bad for teeth. The extra saliva can lead to heartburn...but if you are healthy gum should not be harmful.
