I would recommend not only because if you pull out the temporary filling, it's a mandatory trip back to the dentist's office.

Yes, sugarless. And when your gum pulls out the temporary filling, be sure to get back to your dentist right away to replace the temporary filling.

It is best to avoid gum, or any sticky foods, with a temporary filling to prevent it from being pulled off the tooth.

No, you should avoid chewing gum when you have a permanent filling
