What is xylitol?
Xylitol (birch sugar) is a natural sweetener found in many fruits and vegetables. It is also produced in small amounts by our own bodies. It is usually extracted from the fibrous parts of plants such as birch trees and corn cobs.
Xylitol (Birch sugar) looks and tastes like sugar, but has fewer calories. Unlike other sweeteners, xylitol does not increase blood sugar levels.
It is used in a variety of products, including chewing gum, mouthwash, and toothpaste. It is popular not only for its sweet taste, but also for its dental benefits, which make it an important ingredient in many oral care products.
Is xylitol safe?
Yes, xylitol is considered safe for both adults and children. It has been approved by various health organizations for use in food and dental care products.It is important to know that xylitol is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts, so never brush your dog's teeth with xylitol toothpaste! Keep your xylitol products out of the reach of pets and small children.
What does xylitol do to your teeth?
Xylitol works wonders for your teeth by helping to maintain a healthy oral environment. It reduces the number of harmful bacteria, especially Streptococcus mutans (streptococcus bacteria), which are responsible for tooth decay.
These bacteria feed on sugar and produce acids that attack tooth enamel and lead to tooth decay. However, xylitol is not metabolized by these bacteria, starving them and reducing their ability to produce harmful acids.
In addition, xylitol stimulates saliva production, which is crucial because saliva helps neutralize acids, remineralize teeth, and flush away food particles.
This combined action not only prevents tooth decay but also promotes overall oral health by keeping the mouth cleaner and more balanced.
Preventing tooth decay with xylitol toothpaste
Xylitol can help prevent tooth decay. Regular use of products containing xylitol, such as toothpaste, mouthwash and chewing gum, has been shown to reduce the risk of tooth decay.
The main reason for this is that xylitol interrupts the energy production processes of the bacteria that cause tooth decay. The increased saliva flow that is stimulated by xylitol also helps protect the teeth.
Include xylitol in oral hygiene
There are many benefits to using xylitol in your oral hygiene. How can you use xylitol in your daily oral hygiene?1. Xylitol mouthwash
To use xylitol as a mouthwash, simply put a small amount - half a teaspoon - into your mouth. The xylitol will dissolve. Swish the xylitol around in your mouth for a few minutes. Then spit it out. Do not rinse your mouth afterward.
You can use the mouthwash after meals and before going to bed. The mouthwash will leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean and will provide additional protection against tooth decay and bad breath.
It is also a good alternative to alcohol-based mouthwashes, which can sometimes cause dryness and irritation.
2. Xylitol chewing gum
An easy way to incorporate xylitol into your oral hygiene routine is to chew xylitol gum. There are many brands on the market that make gum with xylitol.
The ideal time to take xylitol chewing gum is after meals and snacks.
Chewing gum containing xylitol after meals stimulates saliva flow, which is important for neutralizing the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth.
It can also help freshen breath and offers a pleasant taste without sugar, making it a healthy option for those who maintain good oral hygiene.
