Xylitol: A new way of fighting tooth decay
Xylitol, a naturally occurring sugar-like component of food, which can be found in foods such as berries and mushrooms, just happens to prevent cavitites as well.
Because Xylitol isn't actually a sugar, it doesn't feed the natural bacteria in our mouth. We get cavities because the sugar we eat gives energy to the bacteria allowing it to multiply and increase the acidity (pH balance) of our mouths. Xylitol prevents the bacteria growth that causes the acid attack on our teeth and promotes saliva, which is a natural tooth protector.
Cavity fighting Xylitol products include mouthwash, mints, toothpaste, and gum. Xylitol products are a convenient supplement for fighting cavities. Additionally, since Xylitol occurs naturally in foods and is produced in small amounts by the body, it’s also safe.
Xylitol gum is available at the office.
