Can Sugar free gum still give me cavities?

When i first discovered sugar freee gum i chew it constantly every day in school to keep my breath smelling fresh...but ever since i started chewing it i've been getting cavities like crazy. Is sugar fee gum healthy for my teeth???

Can Sugar free gum still give me cavities?
That is all I chew and my dentist's have always told me it is fine. Re-evaulate what you are also eating and drinking. Do you smoke? Drink soda's? Eat alot of candy. My guess is the gum would not be the reason. =)
Reply:Firstly think about your dental hygiene. Are you taking care of your teeth? Even if you chew the gum, you'll still get cavieties from other types of food.





Another fact might be that there are additives in sugar free gum which artificially simulate the sweet and fresh giving taste. This might also be your cause.
