Mostly not good.

Gum with sugar in it = bad for teeth. Gum containing xylitol as a sweetener has been shown to be beneficial for your teeth in getting rid of plaque buildup.

YES!
The best is a gum with xylitol as an ingredient. Xylitol is a natural sugar from a plant that kills the bacteria that causes decay. If one has a problem with recurrent decay-chew gum with xyllitol every day. Care free Koolers has it and some Trident also.
Here's a study from Pud Med. Caries is the same as tooth decay.
