We consider generalized Dedekind sums in dimension $n$, defined as sum of products of values of periodic Bernoulli functions. For the generalized Dedekind sums, we associate a Laurent polynomial. Using this, we associate an exponential sum of a Laurent polynomial to the generalized Dedekind sums and show that this exponential sum has a nontrivial bound that is sufficient to fulfill the equidistribution criterion of Weyl and thus the fractional part of the generalized Dedekind sums are equidistributed in $\FR/\FZ$.
Keywords: generalized Dedekind sums, Todd series, exponential sums, equidistribution
