Hey FB friends, have you heard about xylitol? Xylitol is an artificial sugar that when used throughout the day can reduce your risk of tooth decay. Xylitols unique structure cannot be metabolized by bacteria thus stopping the bacteria from being able to convert the sugar into decay-causing acids. Regular use of 100% xylitol products prevents bacterial plaques from gaining hold on tooth surfaces and helps protect the teeth between brushing and flossing. Xylitol can be found in mints, gums, toothpaste, mouthwash etc. but make sure it is listed as the first ingredient on the packaging or it may not be in high enough concentration to be therapeutic. Cheers to a lifetime of oral health! Side note---xylitol is toxic for dogs, so keep it in a safe place
