WHAT IS XYLITOL?
Originated from stunning birch forests of Finland, used in dental care since the 1970s
- Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar that is found in fruit, vegetables, and berries.
- It is a widely researched and commonly accepted natural sweetener.
WHY IS XYLITOL GOOD FOR ORAL HEALTH?
Reduces cavity-causing bacteria and alleviates dry mouth
- First, xylitol reduces plaque and bacteria build-up, by disrupting their energy production processes. Simply, Xylitol starves bacteria to death.
- Xylitol increases the salivary flow, which is rich in calcium and phosphate, preventing gingival inflammation and erosion of teeth.
- Lastly, it works in great conjunction with nHA, since the increased flow of saliva encourages remineralization.
