What’s So Sweet About Xylitol? Dr. White Explains



At Braces by White we have known for some time that certain types of chewing gum, cough drops, toothpaste, mouthwash and candy have been found to help prevent tooth decay in permanent teeth. Interestingly enough, the sugar substitute "Xylitol" was found to prevent bacteria growth that often contributes to cavities.

But what about baby teeth? Dr. White wants to share with you a study that found Xylitol in an oral syrup has a significant effect on cavity prevention in children between 9-15 months of age.

If you have any questions about using Xylitol products, give us a call.
