Does gum containing xylitol help prevent tooth decay?
send
Yes, it will be.
Xylitol is a type of synthetic sweetener, but unlike sugar, it is not broken down by bacteria that cause cavities, so it produces less acid and is said to be good for preventing cavities. Chewing gum also promotes saliva secretion, which increases the effectiveness of cavity prevention. In particular, gum containing xylitol sold at dental clinics contains a higher concentration of xylitol than commercially available gum, making it more effective at preventing cavities.
