Xylitol is very common but so is fluoride. So no it’s no accurate
Xylitol is definitely in a lot of tooth care products. And I do remember dentists saying to chew more gum or other xylitol products when I was younger.
Everybody uses fluoridated toothpaste and kids get fluoride supplements as pills. It’s not in the drinking water though.
I use xylitol gum, about once or twice a day, usually an hour or so after eating, while at work.
Chewing gum helps on several levels:
1. Chewing increases mouth saliva, so helps keep the mouth moist and saliva is acidic, so will keep breaking up small bits of food that may still be in your mouth, such as between teeth.
2. Xylitol is an anti-bacterial agent that will kill the bacteria in your mouth – both the unwanted that cause excessive tooth decay and the ones your body needs to help digest food.
Xylitol is also a bit of a laxative, so if you eat too much of it, you may find you need to visit the toilet a bit more often and/or urgently than you planned…
Side note – xylitol was originally developed as an anti-bacterial agent to stop mould on shower curtains. Happy chewing!
