Natural Ingredients That Do More Than Just Sweeten
Oral health isn’t just about brushing and flossing, it’s also about what you put in your mouth throughout the day. Xylitol and erythritol are natural ingredients that don’t just add sweetness to products; they actively help protect your teeth and gums. Research shows that these sugar alcohols can reduce harmful bacteria, prevent cavities, and support a healthier oral environment.
Xylitol: A Natural Defender Against Cavities
Xylitol is a plant-derived ingredient that stops cavity-causing bacteria from thriving. Unlike regular sugar, which feeds bacteria like Streptococcus mutans, xylitol actually prevents them from multiplying. Studies have shown that using xylitol regularly can reduce cavity formation by up to 50% over time. (Source)
Erythritol: A Step Ahead for Oral Health
Erythritol has similar benefits to xylitol but may be even more effective. Research has found that erythritol can reduce plaque formation and slow down the development of cavities better than other sugar substitutes. Unlike some artificial sweeteners, erythritol doesn’t ferment in the mouth, meaning it won’t contribute to acidity or enamel erosion. (Source)
