Collection: Xylitol Dental Products

Support everyday oral care with Xylitol Dental Products—gum, mints, toothpaste (with and without fluoride) and mouthwash designed to fit your routine. Sugar-free options help stimulate saliva and can contribute to a lower risk of tooth decay when used alongside twice-daily brushing with and cleaning between teeth.

Naturally Sweet is Australia-based and imports the Epic Dental range, including bulk refill formats to make consistent daily use easy and economical. 

How our Xylitol Dental Products fit your routine

• After meals: Chew a xylitol gum or dissolve a lozenge for 10–20 minutes to stimulate saliva and help neutralise acids. Xylitol stimulates saliva production, helping to neutralise acids and support remineralisation.

• Dose matters: Clinical guidance commonly references total daily intakes around 5–8 g/day. At naturally sweet we recomend 6g. Real-world benefits depend on both dose and frequency. Using xylitol daily is important for maximum benefit. Compared to other sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, xylitol is less digestable by oral bacteria than carbohydrates like sucrose and table sugar, making it more effective in reducing the risk of dental caries. 

• Consistency over time: Evidence indicates xylitol works best as part of a comprehensive plan—brushing twice daily, cleaning between teeth, and regular dental visits. Regular xylitol use can help reduce tooth decay and dental cavities as part of a balanced diet and oral care routine.

Xylitol vs other sweeteners for dental care and tooth decay prevention

• Sugar (sucrose): Fermentable → plaque acid production → enamel demineralisation risk. Bacteria in the mouth feed on sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, producing acids that increase the risk of dental caries.

• Stevia: Non-fermentable and very sweet but primarily an artificial sweetener; it doesn’t have the same plaque-adhesion and salivary-stimulation evidence associated with xylitol gum/mints. Unlike xylitol, stevia does not have demonstrated effects on Streptococcus mutans or additional dental health benefits beyond being non-cariogenic.

• Xylitol: Non-fermentable and functionally supportive for oral environments when used consistently across the day. Xylitol disrupts the metabolism of Streptococcus mutans the bacteria responsible for tooth decay. Xyltiol reduces its ability to produce acid and adhere to teeth, which helps prevent dental caries.

Your daily smile routine for oral health—made practical

Build a simple habit stack: brush and floss twice daily, then use Xylitol Dental Products after meals or whenever you need a tooth-friendly refresh. Consistency, not perfection, is what your enamel loves.

FAQs

Is xylitol actually good for teeth?

Yes— Xylitol gum/lozenges after meals can help reduce acid challenge and may lower levels of decay-associated bacteria. Use it alongside bruhsing, not instead of it.

Does xylitol prevent cavities on its own?

Evidence is mixed. Some studies and reviews show benefits, others are inconclusive. Dental bodies emphasise xylitol as an adjunct; fluoride toothpaste and professional care remain primary for preventing decay.

How much xylitol do I need per day for oral benefits?

Guidance frequently cites ~6g/day. Each epic gum piece contains 1g. The most on the Australian market.  

Is xylitol safe for kids?

When used appropriately, xylitol has a good safety profile (watch for tummy upset at higher intakes). 

Is xylitol safe for people with diabetes?

Xylitol has a low glycaemic index (~7) and does not spike blood glucose like sugar. As with any sweetener, consider total intake and individual health advice.

Which is better—xylitol gum, mints, or toothpaste?

For between-meal use, gum or mints are well-supported for saliva stimulation and practical dosing after meals. Xylitol mints have gained popularity as a convenient way to maintain xylitol levels between meals, supplementing regular brushing and snacking routines.
