Xylitol Targets the Root Cause of Tooth Decay

Bacteria Cause Cavities

Cavity-causing bacteria can turn just about anybody’s pearly whites into a dental nightmare. As they break down the sugars in the foods you eat and drink, these bacteria produce a steady flow of acid that destroys the calcium and phosphate bonds in your teeth. If you lose enough of these essential minerals, you will get a cavity.

Brushing & Flossing Don’t Eliminate Bacteria

Dentists can repair cavities with fillings but fillings don’t eliminate bacteria. Brushing and flossing can temporarily remove the bacteria from the tooth surface, but unless you use a new toothbrush every time you brush you’re actually reintroducing bacteria into your mouth.

Xylitol Inhibits Bacteria Growth

Xylitol can help reduce bacteria.

Cavity-causing bacteria are obsessed with sugar in the same way that most trick-or-treaters are. Fortunately for your teeth, experts tell us these same bacteria mistake xylitol for sugar and bring it into their cellular walls through an uptake system that converts it into an unusable molecule (xylitol phosphate). Over time, the unusable xylitol builds up inside the cell and effectively clogs up the bacteria's digestive system, rendering them unable to produce acid.

The California Dental Association* explains xylitol's incredible power this way:

"Xylitol inhibits the growth of the bacteria that cause cavities. It does this because these bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) cannot utilize xylitol to grow.

"Over time with xylitol use, the quality of the bacteria in the mouth changes and fewer and fewer decay-causing bacteria survive on tooth surfaces. Less plaque forms and the level of acids attacking the tooth surface is lowered.".

FAQs – Dental Gum & Xylitol Oral Care

How does sugar-free dental gum protect my teeth?

Chewing sugar-free gum, especially with xylitol, increases salivary flow, which helps wash away acids and food bits. This process supports tooth enamel and reduces the risk of tooth decay.

Is sugar-free gum good for bad breath?

Yes. It helps remove food debris and neutralise acids that cause bad breath. That fresh feeling comes from increased saliva that cleans your mouth as you chew.

Can I use dental gum if I have dry mouth?

Definitely. Chewing a sugar-free gum stimulates saliva and helps ease dry mouth. More saliva means less risk of decay, gum disease, and oral discomfort.

Is chewing sugar-free gum safe for kids and adults?

Once teeth are stable, sugar-free gum is safe for older kids and adults. Avoid giving it to toddlers. For the rest, it’s a useful after-meal habit that supports good hygiene habits alongside brushing and flossing.

How often should I chew dental gum?

Dentists recommend chewing sugar-free gum for about 20 minutes after meals to boost saliva, rinse acids, and help protect enamel. Use it as a helpful extra, not a replacement for brushing and flossing.
