Deep dives
The Impact of Xylitol on Oral Health
Xylitol, a five-carbon sugar, plays a significant role in oral health by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria that cause tooth decay. Unlike traditional sweeteners such as sorbitol and glucose, which can feed strep mutans bacteria, xylitol cannot be processed by these pathogens, making it a safer alternative. Studies have shown that the use of xylitol results in a healthier oral microbiome, effectively reducing the incidence of cavities and respiratory infections. It not only appears to remineralize teeth but also stabilizes the oral environment, helping to maintain a better pH balance for overall dental health.
