Does xylitol gum help prevent cavities? ⁠

[@user-be5qg7mr1s]

omg, an american dentist that supports Xylitol. awesome!

[@vickys4431]

What about rinsing with xylitol, like instead of oil pulling using xylitol dissolved in water and swishing it in mount for 5-10 min?

[@Valkrill]

You don't even need 5 minutes. Just 60 seconds would suffice, but also brush you reeth with a Xylitol based toothpaste and Mouthwash. Yes they exist.

[@bens1539]

I use xylitol sugar and powder sugar to brush my teeth and sometimes use 0.3 % hydrogen peroxide as mouthwash. I had no cavities for years.

[@apples483]

Do you consume sugar based sweets and chocolates too while using these ?

PUR gum is good but a 33 count is about 6 dollars

Can we take xylitol crystal with fennel after meals to have same effect as chewing gum?

[@ejjohnstonunv]

And if you have TMJ?

Xylitol mints

My 15 month old's dentist shamed me for nursing my daughter at night she said that I'm making my daughter's teeth horrible and she said other things but I couldn't understand very well cause she didn't speak English clearly🥺

CNN Health : For the new study on xylitol, the results were basically the same - people with the highest levels of xylitol compared to those with the lowest levels had nearly twice the risk of heart attack, stroke and death

[@wallaguest1]

omg.. wasn't it supossed to be safe? life sucks, full day fighting problems.

[@hfng08]

@@wallaguest1 I thought it was safe too. So better not swallow when using it.

What does "Mom' chewing gum have to do with the child's microbiome? Unless it's in utero??...

[@KeepNitReeel]

Kissing!!!

[@wallaguest1]

yeah i asked the same thing. Since the most related to cavity bacteria is exogenous (s.mutans), i guess mom pass them to the childrens when trying food or checking temperature, sharing the fork, kissing...

[@bizisback]

Is xylitol mints also fine?

[@KeepNitReeel]

Yes yes eat the Xylitol! Finland gives 2grams to pregnant women & children!

[@wallaguest1]

they dont produce that much saliva, and you want saliva to remineralize cavities.

[@noellerubel4686]

And keep it away from your dogs! Kills them.... Caregivers? How does that make sense..... what bs.....

[@itsaaronlolz]

I’m 32 and I was always chewing trident gum since I was in high school. I think it’s the reason why I still have all my teeth 😭😂

[@KeepNitReeel]

It can't be trident ffs! It needs to be Xylitol! These content creators don't realize the lack of comprehension of many viewers! 😂🤣🤣😂 You just keep chomping on that aspartame dumb dumb, drink up the flouride too!

You SHOULD have all your teeth at 32. It is not normal nor natural for tooth loss at 32.
