Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that is used in many dental home care products. Some studies have shown xylitol can help reduce tooth decay. Different than other sugars and sweeteners, xylitol is non-fermentable and does not provide an energy source for the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Its sweet taste helps it encourage saliva production which also protects teeth. Xylitol is used in gums, pastes, candies, and mouthwashes, among other products. Having some xylitol products on hand or to recommend is another way to help your patients care for their oral health.
