The Power of Xylitol
End cavities, bad breathe and avoid unnecessary dental treatments!

How it Works

The effect of Xylitol on harmful bacteria is three-fold.

1. Bacteria are unable to use Xylitol as an energy source. Unlike regular sugar, which gives these bacteria energy, Xylitol literally starves them.
2. Xylitol creates a non-acidic mouth environment that is hostile to this kind of bacteria. The lack of acidity stifles their growth and slowly they begin to disappear.

3. Xylitol works in ridding the mouth of harmful bacteria by making them less able to stick to teeth. These bacteria become more slippery and are then more easily washed away during tooth care.

Granular Xylitol looks and almost tastes like sugar (sucrose) but with 40 percent fewer calories. When Xylitol dissolves in your mouth, it makes a sweet sugary solution that takes away mouth acidity, makes the mouth instantly more alkaline, and stimulates salivary flow.

Xylitol creates a perfect pH balance in the mouth to stimulate a healing process that can naturally repair teeth. Minerals from saliva flow into dental tissues in a process called “remineralization.” In this way each time Xylitol is eaten it not only brings minerals by salivary stimulation but creates an alkaline environment in which these minerals can help heal soft or damaged areas on teeth and help to rebuild and strengthen them.

You will be amazed how clean your teeth feel. Your teeth and gums will be protected. Used regularly the CWT Mouth Care System and Xylitol can heal early cavities and strengthen teeth while you sleep.

History
Xylitol is found in the fibers of fruits and vegetables. Xylitol was used in diabetic treatments over 100 years ago. Birch wood was the original source of commercially produced Xylitol in the 1940s and this remains a premier source today. Xylitol has been used in Europe since World War II for baking, cooking and to sweeten coffee and tea.

During the 1950s it was discovered that Xylitol could prevent ear infections in children. Researchers have found that Xylitol can prevent and heal cavities and other mouth infections. Hundreds of studies have confirmed the safety and dental health benefits of Xylitol. In the U.S. military, Xylitol gum is used by the troops to protect their teeth.

Native Americans knew the antibacterial properties of birch wood sugar, and wrapped medicines and precious herbs in the bark of birch trees to protect them from fungus and bacteria. Birch bark was also made into teething rattles for children, and chewed by adults to protect and strengthen their teeth.

There are reports of African tribes using sticks from special trees to clean their teeth. Also, some Russian children are given the juice of birch bark to drink to protect their teeth during the early growth stages.

Safety and dosage
Xylitol is diabetic friendly and safe for use with babies, children, adults and the elderly. Athletes use Xylitol to prevent the breakdown of muscle during prolonged exercise and many nutrition experts advocate its use as an alkalizing substance. Xylitol is low calorie, low carbohydrate and has a low glycemic index.

Xylitol is today most often found in the form of gum, mints or a spray. These products offer an easy and convenient way to control mouth acidity and help moisten the mouth no matter what your risk factor for dental disease. Xylitol is delicious and can be your own special weapon in your fight against dental disease. Xylitol can help everyone avoid cavities and protect their teeth.
