Jack is still in his chewing phase i know, but can i give him something to just chew on it? and what? Or maybe a dental cream we put on babies to stop chewing things ? THANKS

Yes, you can give Jack a Kong toy. Those are safe for puppies to chew on (they have puppy sized ones), and you can fill them with treats for him. There are also toys that you can get that you can freeze, and that helps with teething behaviors, as chewing often is related to teething in dogs. Do not put dental cream on anything, as the ingredients are not safe for puppies to ingest.
