I think so , Sugar-free gum is good for my health,and I alway take Sugar-free gum , I think it is better to my teeth.

I think yes because Gum can also make you loose some weight. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic proved this! Chewing sugar-free gum 100 times a minute for 12 minutes can burn 70 kilocalories an hour. It will raise your metabolic rate by twenty percent! That's eleven pounds per year!
yes it is good for health.
Actually, the best choice is xylitol.
"There are, however, a number of sweeteners that help prevent cavities and reduce the acid production in your mouth. Xylitol, a natural sweetener found in many fruits and vegetables, tastes and looks like sugar but without the negative side effects. Chewing gum that contains high levels of xylitol fights cavities and dental decay by creating an unwelcome environment for bacteria. Xylitol is one of bacteria’s natural enemies-in a xylitol-rich environment, bacteria lose their ability to stick to teeth and are therefore unable to colonize and turn into plaque."
