 In the just concluded Dental convention, I discovered a novelty product packaged in a verrrrry cute 'tooth' shaped dispenser. It's called Xylitol Candies. Although the rest of the text are in Taiwanese, the leaflet given me by the booth attendant gave me enough information about the product. You may have heard of Xylitol chewing gum marketed a few years back in chewing gum form. But our kids might swallow the chewing gum, so this is a better alternative. It is safe to use for our little ones and for adults too. Use it as you would a candy but after every meal. Think of it as a sweet disinfectant for the mouth. It zaps the bacteria so that it won't excrete the acid after partying with the remaining bits of food in your mouth. (That's right, your mouth is like the toilet for these little critters, and their excrement are the ones actually destroying your teeth). Its sweet-sour taste stimulates abundant salivary flow that washes and dilutes the remaining sticky starches on your teeth. When rinses or toothbrushes are not within reach, these candies are your best defense against tooth decay. It is very low in calories and diabetics can use it too. Remember, after any meals, it takes only about 20 minutes for the bacteria to start producing the acid that destroys your teeth. So keep one handy for you and your kids. You can try this link on Xylitol for more information or visit us at our makati dental clinic to avail. You could also watch one of the many commercials about Xylitol in different forms from around the world (especially in Korea and Japan).
