Prevention Dentistry with Xylitol

Xylitol Helps in Cavity Prevention

Xylitol is a naturally occurring substance in fruits and vegetables, and even our own bodies produce it. Extensive research has shown that it is effective in combating tooth decay from consuming foods high in sugars and starches. Many European dental associations have already endorsed it as the best sweetener to keep teeth healthy.

Xylitol is already widely used in chewing gum, candy, and dental products. We endorse the use of products with xylitol for fewer cavities. It has also been shown to help those suffering from allergies. If you would like more information on xylitol, be sure to ask us at your next visit.
