Is sugar-free gum good for your teeth even if it's fruit-flavoured?

I know chewing is good cos it maked more saliva which neutralises plaque acids, but was wondering about the fruit flavour having acids of its own.

    Flavour doesn't matter, the fruit flavour does not come from acid. The fruit flavour comes from other chemicals. There is likely some sort of acid (maybe citric acid), but it's not a problem.

    Yes it is completely fine, but try to limit it to a few sticks a day.
