Answers:
1. Sugar-sweetened gums are bad for your teeth. Sugar-free gums are good for your teeth.
2. Trident can help prevent cavities when chewed after you eat something sweet, by clearing the sugar from your mouth and causing salivation (which protects against acid attack).
3. No.
4. Only after meals. Chew too much and you risk overstraining your TMJ and muscles.
