Xylitol is a natural sweetener found in the bark of different types of wood. In the past, extensive studies have been carried out on effects of xylitol in dentistry – with amazing results: The presence of xylitol in the oral cavities slows down the production of acids in the plaque. Acids, amongst other things, are responsible for the development of tooth decay and the demineralisation of teeth. The long-term use of xylitol results in a reduction of plaque of up to 50%. Accordingly, xylitol contributes towards a reduction in bacteria causing tooth decay, primarily of Streptococcus mutans.
