How to use xylitol?

The tooth friendly effect on xylitol is at its best in chewing gums and pastilles. According to recommendations xylitol should be used several times a day with small doses, immediately after every meal or snack.  The most sigificant caries-preventing effect can be reached by regular and long-lasting use of xylitol-sweetened products. 

When you take xylitol, the acid attack that would otherwise last over half an hour is stopped in its tracks.

• Use chewing gum or pastilles with an adequate xylitol content (min. 50% of all sweeteners) after every meal or snack

• 3-5 times a day (a daily dose of 5 grammes)

• regularly on a long-term basis

• 5-10 minutes at a time
