Benefits of Xylitol


Daily use of xylitol in dentistry has shown remarkable effectiveness.  Xylitol’s non cariogenic five-carbon structure keeps it from being metabolized by bacteria, stopping the production of tooth-decay causing acid.  
By chewing gum containing at least one gram of Xylitol, bacteria is prevented from creating the acids that damage the teeth.  Regular use of  Xylitol chewing gum prevents plaque from gaining hold on dental surfaces.  Hence, it protects the mouth between brushing and flossing for both adults and children.
