Bacteria can’t metabolize Xylitol which is a natural sugar. The acid
production of bacteria is interrupted when using Xylitol. Studies have
shown that plaque levels are reduced when Xylitol is used several times a day.
Plaque accumulation is reduced by 50% when Xylitol is consumed three to
five times daily. Tooth- brushing, also, reduce plaque by 50%. Note!!! By using Xylitol
daily, the first 50% is removed no matter what the toothbrushing skill
level. Using Xylitol products: simply chew gum, suck on candy or use toothpaste,
mouthrinse, gel or dry mouth spray sweetened with 100 % Xylitol can reduce
cavities in the future!!!
