Spread the Healthy Smile: The Xylitol Way

Don’t you love when your child smile; it was as if the sweetest thing that you see. Healthy teeth mean health and wellness , as well as self confident for oneself plus self esteem. There are so many thing that we can associate with a smile, but what comes with the smile is a healthy teeth and that’s a different story.  We parent always guides are children to always brush their teeth  three times a day or every meal or after we eaten something sweet.  The problem would come when we or they don’t have a toothbrush and toothpaste with them or worst they are not doing what they are told.  As a mom we are worried if our children suffer tooth decay since tooth decay can lead to death if severe infectious happens.

I recently attended a get together with other mommies to get to know the solution  when it comes to taking care of ours and our children’s teeth if the situation of not being able to brush our teeth arises.   Xylitol is a 100% natural sweetener first derived from birch trees in the 20th century and it was discovered and utilized as a sugar substitute because it tastes as sweet as sugar. Unlike sugar like sucrose or glucose, Xylitol reduces the growth of cavity-causing  Streptococcus mutans bacteria. Xylitol is also used in dental health products like dental health candy, dental health drops, and dental health gum

Dental tips and facts were presented during the event

What makes Xylitol different from other sweeteners? Unlike other sugar substitutes like aspartame and sucraloid, Xylitol is 100% natural . More over, unlike sorbitol, sucrose or glucose, Xylitol has 5 instead of 6 carbon atoms so it does not cause tooth decay. Xylitol is sweeter than sorbitol and is as sweet as sucrose so it is the perfect substitute to these cavity-causing sweeteners

Variants of Xylitol tochoose from , but I do love the  blue neo Rasa Fresh Mint

How does Lotte Xylitol Dental Health Gum prevent tooth decay? It’s a sugar-free gum with over 50% xylitol as a sugar substitute. It reduces cavity-causing bacteria that feed on sugar and create acids that dissolve tooth enamel resulting in tooth decay. Xylitol  promotes saliva flow to maintain healthy pH levels in the mouth to prevent demineralization of tooth enamel and removes particles of food that may be left behind which can cause tooth decay or bad breath. Xylitol also helps remove stubborn tartar on teeth surfaces through the chewing action of the gum and  promotes remineralization or rebuilding of the teeth enamel thru the presence of calcium phosphates and by promoting saliva production

Preventing Tooth Decay from Infanthood is not easy since tTooth decay-causing bacteria is first transmitted from mother to child from 9 to 13 months of age. But, mothers who regularly consumed Xylitol for a two-year period from the birth of their child greatly reduced the chance of tooth decay in their children. Two-year old children whose mothers consumed Xylitol had up to 74% less tooth decay than even those who used fluoride. Amazingly, the tooth decay preventing effects of Xylitol can be achieved even by just having the mothers consume Xylitol.
