Does gum make u loose teeth?

Some chronic gum chewers do tend to have more fillings(loss of tooth structure) due to the fact that they do not chew sugar-free gum. Sugar is the leading cause of tooth decay so when you are always "bathing" your teeth in sugar what do you think is going to happen? Chewing gum w/ sugar in it does in a sense cause tooth loss, but not to the point of having your teeth completely fall out. Your teeth would start growing decay and then the dentist would remove the decay and fill the void w/ a filling. Therefore you now have a loss of tooth structure, but not a loss of the whole tooth.

Does gum make u loose teeth?
Well not technically. The loss of structure is replaced by a filling therefore you once again have a "whole" tooth, just part of it is humanly fabricated. On the other hand now that you have a filling in your tooth, it may be more likely to get fractured which may cause future complications. Report It

Reply:no it helps them
Reply:no. but it can make you lose (non-metal) fillings. chewing anything wears on the enamel (the surface of the tooth) but that doesn't cause teeth to fall out. only damage to the root of the tooth (near the gumline) can do that.
Reply:Of course not, but a medical condition might! See a dentist. Good luck.

CHEWING GUM DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOSE TEETH. BUT NOT BRUSING THEM WILL MAKE THEM LOOSE.
