Xylitol Gum in the Media
Xylitol gum bolstered its position in the fight against the silent epidemic. The US Surgeon General has called tooth decay the "silent epidemic".
A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that tooth decay was on the rise in young children, with more than one in four children having tooth decay in their baby teeth. "The launch of http://xylitolchewinggum.com was designed to help parents and children fight the rise in tooth decay" stated founder of Xylitol Chewing Gum .com L.R. Fry in an online interview.
The use of xylitol gum is nothing new in promoting better oral hygiene and battling tooth decay. In March of 2004 the positive effects of xylitol chewing gum were included in the "Look for Xylitol First" program instated by the U.S. Army Dental Command.
Xylitol Chewing Gum has oral hygiene benefits which include:
• Xylitol use helps to reduce oral plaque levels.
• Xylitol promotes re-mineralization of initial enamel lesions.
• Xylitol suppresses mutants streptococci bacteria.
These properties combined with the increase of saliva when chewing xylitol chewing gum may provide the weapon needed to engage the rise of tooth decay in the US.
The amount of Xylitol found in the chewing gum can have a direct correlation as to it's effectiveness against tooth decay. The xylitol chewing gum found at http://xylitolchewinggum.com has over 1 gram of xylitol per piece, the highest xylitol content of any chewing gum on the market.
