Have you ever dreamed of  a secret  to keep your teeth clean?

.

You are just about to discover your new  best friend!!

.

You won´t believe it!

.

It is  a   S U G A R

.

But not an ordinary one!

It´s name is      X Y L I T O L

Here are just a few benefits of XYLITOL:

.

.

.

• Xylitol is a natural sweetener with only 40% of it being absorbed and metabolized into energy. Hence you get the sweetness, but only half of the caloric impact

.

• Xylitol does not increase the insulin production

.

• Xylitol´s key benefit is to “kill” biofilms

Have you ever experienced   this furry, sticky enamel feeling as you run your tongue alongside your teeth after drinking a Coke? You’re feeling  the effect of too much acidity plus sugar on your teeth. You feel the biofilm!

.

To quote an expert  on microbiology: “The biggest mistake we have made in understanding bacteria that cause disease in humans is to consider them in their individual, free-floating state, rather than as members of a community of bacteria that live within a complex system called a biofilm.”

.

Biofilms cover your teeth and oral cavitiy and other areas in your head (sinuses…). They are perfect hiding places for bacteria. Biofilms allow bacteria to grow. They are  resistant to the natural anti-microbial qualities of saliva and to toothpastes and mouthwashes.

.

Without this protective biofilm, bacteria can not stick to the enamel and release their damaging substances that can cause cavities

.

Our  modern high in sugar diets,  sugar-laden beverages and plenty of snacks are ideal breeding grounds for and sustaining of dental biofilms.

.

A typical “energy drink” contains 18 teaspoons of sugar which equals 72 grams of carbohydrates, or 300 calories!

.

• Xylitol toothpaste, chewing gum, or pastilles all have an anti-biofilm effect.

.

• Xylitol fights against gum disease (now the most common cause of tooth loss) because bacteria that initiate gum disease have no place to hide in the gum crevesses

.

• Xylitol chewing gum makes your teeth  feel smooth and clean.

.

• Xylitol reduces bad breath

.

• Xylitol gum and pastilles is given as “dessert” in Finnish schools. They have seen a remarkable reduction in tooth decay.

.

• Xylitol should be given to young children  to prevent  cavity formation in the first place

.

.

.

A word of caution:

.

.

.

If you still have mercury fillings you should use pastilles rather than chewing gum.

Chewing gum will release even more mercury from your fillings
