Xylitol: The Sugar Substitute That Fights Cavities

Sweet Protection

Xylitol isn't just a sugar alternative—it actively fights cavity-causing bacteria. This natural sweetener can be part of your cavity prevention strategy.

How Xylitol Works

Bacteria can't metabolise xylitol for energy. Starved bacteria produce less acid. Regular use reduces bacterial populations. It also stimulates saliva flow, further protecting teeth.

Incorporating Xylitol

Chew xylitol gum after meals. Use xylitol mints throughout the day. Choose xylitol-containing toothpaste. Look for it in oral rinses. Aim for 5-10 grams daily in divided doses.
