Chewing gum?

On the tube the other day I had some masticating right by my ear. It was really rather unpleasant.

Given some of the behaviour I have witnessed on public transport over the years, that could have been a lot worse :eek::D.

Chewing gum is great after eating if you can't brush your teeth but not an all day habit.
 
Don't chew gum. Well, don't chew it frequently. I have a very clicky jaw as a result of ~1.5 years of frequent chewing when at work. I no longer chew gum as it got to the point where I found my jaw would lock and I wouldn't be able to eat dinner without my jaw having to contort like that of a gecko. It still locks occasionally, and catches me unawares - it can be quite painful.

My dentist advised me against chewing unless it was absolutely necessary after noting how bad it was a couple of visits back.
