My dog ate peppermint Orbit gum. Will she be okay after hours?

Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Female | spayed | 34 lbs

My dog ate about 7-9 small sticks of the peppermint orbit gum. I'm not sure when she did it, but it had to have been within the hours of 7:15 am and 3:30 pm today. Is she going to be ok?

I'd be concerned if the gum was sugarless and contain xylitol. If it did, xylitol is highly toxic. You would see effects of xylitol toxicity 15-30 minutes after ingestion. If it's been longer than that, Maisy should be ok.
