Sounds interesting, indeed. Just dug up this review [1] that claims there were no adverse effects from any of the interventions, and that after 2.5 to 3 years of use, a fluoride toothpaste containing 10% xylitol may reduce caries by 13% when compared to a fluoride-only toothpaste.

I wonder how well bacteria will adapt long term in your mouth to Xylitol exposure through bubble gum based adminstration.
