Why we Recommend Xylitol Gum
Australian Breath Clinic research shows that the best way to maintain the mouth with healthy saliva is to chew Xylitol chewing gum for 15 minutes after meals, three times a day. Xylitol has many health advantages which are only just coming to light. Xylitol is a premium, natural sugar free sweetener which cannot be fermented by bacteria and therefore cannot cause decay like some other sweeteners do.
Australian Breath Clinic research shows that Xylitol gum can increase saliva production by up to 100%, almost immediately on use. Therefore Xylitol gum is recommended for dry mouth sufferers and especially patients with Sjogrens Syndrome. Be careful using chewing gum with artificial sweeteners, as these type of sweeteners can leave a sour or metallic aftertaste in the mouth that can be mistaken for bad breath.
