I've been chewing Happydent gum a lot lately and I'm a bit concerned. Each piece has 6 pallets, and I've noticed I'm consuming about 1824 pallets every week. They say it's sugar-free and has Xylitol in it, but I'm wondering if there could be any side effects from chewing so much of this gum. Could you shed some light on this for me?

Consuming 18-24 pallets of Happydent chewing gum per week, which contains xylitol, may lead to potential side effects, including gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, bloating, gas, and abdominal pain, as some people may not fully digest xylitol; additionally, excessive xylitol consumption may also cause a laxative effect, electrolyte imbalances, or interact with medications like blood thinners.

I'm really worried. A couple of days ago, I accidentally hit my wife on her right cheek, and now her jaw on that side is swollen. It was starting to get better, and she didn't have any pain for about two weeks. But suddenly, yesterday, she's in a lot of pain again, and the swelling has increased. Should we see a dentist, or would a regular doctor be better for this?

visit a surgeon it would be better
