to make a cool sound. I like it when it sounds really loud. Sometimes I get a whole bunch of bibles together and set them up like a set of drums and thump them really fast whyle using a hammer as drumsticks. Its really FUN.

Grinding your teeth is a form of stress. Gum sheilds could help prevent it, but otherwise dont worry about it.

You can chew gum, but should not swallow it and you can swallow beverages and not chew them.  Just a guess.

to be more specific a foley person finds alternative ways to replicate different sounds. ie snapping celery to make it sound like a bone is being broken, hitting a bag full of sand to make it sound like a thud or walking on cereal in a box to make it sound like your walking on gravel or in dry brush. It's actually pretty cool and takes a lot of imagination

Teeth ... try chewing before swallowing!!!

This is normal. Some children do so more than others causing more wear on their teeth but, it really is of no concerns UNLESS the teeth begin to ache or become very sensitive. It is possible to grind right into the nerve. Children do this sometimes out of stress but mostly it is due to developing muscles and nerves in the head, neck, face and jaws.

The previous answer is essentially correct.  Behind your ear drum is an air pocket - the middle ear - that is connected to the back of the throat by the Eustachian tube.  That tube will open and close again when swallowing or yawning to equalize the air pressure in the middle ear to that of the environment around you.  That is why it is often recommended to chew gum or suck on hard candy during take-off and landing.  \n\nIf your eustachian tubes are not functioning properly, which can be due to upper respiratory ailments like allergies or a cold or sore throat, the pressure can be quite painful.  You could try to force some air into the middle ear by holding your breath (pinch your nose if needed) and blowing gently.  \n\nThere are special ear plugs available -- called EarPlanes -- that allow the pressure to change more gradually.  They are in most large drug store outlets in the US, like CVS or Eckerds.  I used them with my son when he was younger and prone to middle ear infections.  They seemed to work well.

I don't think there is any thing really wrong with chewing gum as long as there isn't any popping or loud smacking of the gum. Some just don't know how to chew it with out all kinds of noise making and also when they get done with it they want to put it else where other then the trash can. I have seen some kids really seem to work harder on school work and getting more accomplished while chewing gun.

it is thought that the apple exercises the gums. Improves bllod hence stops gum disease. the teeth are attached to ligament like structures within the gum and these are able to move up and down. Our modern day diet stops this process from happening because it's too soft. As cavemen we would have been eating raw meat and veg. They didn't have tooth brushes then and yet the skulls are often found with teeth intact thousands of years later.

Haven't you seen, Dr.Know. He did a study proving that gum chewing increases brain fuction and concentration.\n\nAmerican's aren't stupid, just young.

It's a good way to get them to stop flapping their gums in your ear.

as any drug there is out there.  they are addicting and the reason being because of performance.  when you get off of them then the person can become suicidal.  I had thought about doing them acouple of times and did research on it.  Not worth it.
