Effect of Xylitol Gum on Caries Risk

How Xylitol Fights Cavities
Xylitol products enhance dental health by creating an unwelcome environment for bacteria. Bacteria do not stick to teeth in a Xylitol-rich environment. As a result, there is less plaque build-up: Without plaque, decay-causing bacteria cannot stick to tooth enamel.

It's that simple. In the presence of xylitol, bacteria can't stick to teeth. Without bacteria, oral health improves and tooth decay is greatly reduced.

Read the brief excerpt from "Xylitol Sweeten Your Smile" by Dr Peldyak

One usage of a Spry product, contributes a measurable number of X-Points toward a total daily target of 18 points. At 18 points daily, the mouth will be exposed to approximately 8 grams of xylitol, the amount shown in clinical studies to be effective in reducing cavities.

For example, by brushing with Spry toothpaste twice daily (6 points), using the oral rinse once (3 points), and adding chewing gum and mints in sufficient quantity for an additional 9 points, you will effectively use xylitol to fight tooth decay.
