Is a natural plant-based ingredient found in many fruits and vegetables and
is part of the daily human metabolism. Reduced saliva flow is a concern for many
people, because when saliva flow is poor, calcium and phosphate (key minerals for
the health of your teeth) are not effectively deposited on the enamel, presenting a
greater risk of cavities. Xylitol stimulates the flow of saliva, which allows these minerals
to bind in order to keep the enamel strong and minimize plaque adhesion. Plaque
bacteria cannot metabolize Xylitol as a food and are depleted as they try to
communicate and reproduce in the biofilm community. Therefore, since the bacteria
do not metabolize Xylitol, they die and cannot adhere to your teeth.
