The Healing Power of Xylitol
Xylitol supports dental health, freshens breath, and strengthens teeth and gums in several ways:
1. Reduces Cavity-Causing Bacteria
Xylitol inhibits the growth of Streptococcus mutans, the primary bacteria responsible for cavities.*
Unlike sugar, xylitol is not fermentable, meaning bacteria cannot use it as a food source to produce acid.
2. Balances Oral pH & Reduces Acidity
Xylitol raises saliva pH, making the mouth less acidic and reducing enamel erosion.
A neutral or slightly alkaline environment helps prevent demineralization of teeth.*
3. Stimulates Saliva Production
4. Supports Gum Health & Reduces Inflammation
5. Strengthens Tooth Enamel
