"More than half (59.4%) of the children
who received xylitol three times a day were
cavity-free after a year."
"Xylitol has been shown to reduce the
amount of bacteria in the mouth... A gum that
is sweetened with Xylitol is your best option.
Xylitol is a sugar substitute that not only
increases salivation but also works to prevent
bacteria from replicating in the mouth. Sugar-free
chewing gum (especially gum that contains xylitol)
is good for your teeth [as] it helps clear your
mouth of harmful sugars and protect against
plaque."
