Check out how xylitol works to prevent dental cavities! Xylitol kills bacteria by starving them, which is possible because bacteria can't digest xylitol, unlike sugar. Xylitol is non-fermentable, so bacteria can't use it to produce acid that causes tooth decay When bacteria take up xylitol, it's converted into xylitol 5-phosphate (X5P), which can inhibit bacterial metabolism and acid production. #xylitol #cavityprevention #dentalhygienist #oralhealth | Lauren Gallegos

Studies show regular xylitol use can reduce S. mutans levels in saliva by 30–60%. The bacteria absorb it but can’t metabolize it. They waste energy trying to process it and produce no acid as a byproduct. Over time, they weaken and die off. This starves the bacterial population. You benefit in two ways: 1) Less acid means less enamel demineralization. 2) Less bacterial growth means a more stable oral microbiome. For effect, you need 5–10 grams per day, spread across 3–5 uses (like gum, mints, or

Taylor McFarland DDS MS on Instagram: "One of the main benefits of xylitol is that it can lower cavity risk. Xylitol can reduce the amount of acid produced by bacteria. When bacteria in the mouth break down sugar, they produce acid that attacks the teeth and leads to tooth decay. Xylitol doesn't allow the bacteria to produce this acid, which means it can help prevent cavities from forming. Xylitol may also help improve overall oral health by stimulating saliva production, which helps neutralize
