Xylitol

Xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. It is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables, including berries, mushrooms and lettuce, and is also produced in small amounts by the human body.  Xylitol has a wide variety of uses and benefits, from improving the health of your teeth to maintaining upper respiratory health.

Studies show that 6 to 10 grams of xylitol per day are effective.  Also, using xylitol products 3 to 5 times a day is more effective than only once. Xylitol can be found in gums, mints, and rinses. 

Xylitol eliminates harmful oral bacteria (the ones that can damage teeth and gums) and also prevents them from sticking to teeth.  Using xylitol immediately after eating or snacking is recommended. If xylitol is the only sugar remaining in the mouth, most bacteria cannot use it and will therefore not be able to make the acids or biofilm that can attack teeth.
