What is Xylitol and How Can It Help My Dental Health?

Dental Health Care Plymouth MI
Found in fruits and vegetables, xylitol is a natural substance that even our own bodies create every day. In over 25 years of clinical research and testing, xylitol has been proven to be very effective in fighting tooth decay. It is an excellent replacement for sugar as it is a sweetener that does not harm your teeth. Studies reveal that it also helps overcome allergies and is now available as a nasal spray. Numerous dental associations in Europe have already endorsed its use in toothpaste, mouthwash, chewing gum, and even candy. We highly recommend it to control cavities and provide relief from allergies.

Common Myths of Gum Disease # 3

Having gum disease means I will lose my teeth
Not so! You don’t have to lose any of your teeth to gum disease if you practice good oral hygiene. That means brushing your teeth twice a day, cleaning between your teeth daily, eating a healthy diet, and scheduling regular dental visits. Even if you are diagnosed with gum disease, your dentist can design a treatment plan to help you keep it under control.
