What is Xylitol and What Does it Have to Do With Reducing Cavities?
Our own bodies produce from 5 to 10 grams of xylitol every day. In fact, xylitol is a natural substance found in most living organisms, including fruits, berries, mushrooms and other vegetables. Over 25 years of clinical testing substantiates that xylitol is a superlative sweetener for protecting teeth. It has been endorsed by dental associations in Finland, Norway, Sweden, England, Ireland, Estonia, and the Netherlands. It is particularly effective in combating tooth decay caused by consuming foods high in sugars and starches.Xylitol can be produced in the form of chewing gum, tablets, toothpaste, mouthwash, or even candy. It’s also very helpful for those suffering from allergies and is available in a nasal spray. In our office we offer and encourage our patients to use xylitol products. The results have been astounding. If you desire fewer cavities and improved upper respiratory health, ask us about xylitol!
