Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is used as a sweetener. It is also a prebiotic, which means that it feeds the good bacteria in your mouth. These bacteria subsequently reward you by protecting your teeth and improving your gums.</p> <p> Regime:</p> <ul> <li> chew xylitol gum after every meal </li> <li> once or twice a day take a teaspoon of xylitol sugar crystals and put it in your mouth and swish it around for 5 mins or so </li> <li> the goal is to have xylitol exposure 5+ times a day - all up around 5-10g </li> <li> over the period of months your cavities will disappear and you won’t even need to floss </li> </ul> ]]> 2023-07-18T00:16:29.172182Z Matt matt@petal.build http://persumi.com/u/mplatts http://persumi.com/u/mplatts/bio-hacking/e/blog/p/xylitol-for-teeth-and-gum-health 2023-07-18T00:16:29.172182Z
