What is Xylitol
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables. What makes xylitol special is its ability to combat harmful bacteria in the mouth. Unlike regular sugar, xylitol cannot be digested by bacteria, which means it doesn’t produce acid and doesn’t contribute to tooth decay. Instead, it helps maintain a balanced pH level in your mouth, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Safety of Xylitol for All Ages
Xylitol has no known toxicity in humans. An adult can consume 10 to 30 gm xylitol per day without side effects. Xylitol used in paediatric dentistry typically range from 7 to 20gms per day (divided in to 3-5 doses) without side effects. FDA has approved xylitol as a food additive or sweetenerHow Xylitol Works
Xylitol’s impact on oral health is what makes it a star ingredient in Carinil Toothpaste. Reduces the Risk of Tooth Decay Xylitol has been shown to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, particularly Streptococcus mutans, which is known for causing cavities. Bacteria feed upon left over food in the oral cavity and produce acid, causing saliva acidic. In acidic medium calcium and phosphorous ions move out of teeth causing demineralisation and pre-cavity lesions. Xylitol inhibits bacterial growth and neutralise already present acid which increases salivary ph. from acidic to basic resulting into movement of ca++ and phosphorous ions back to the teeth. This way remineralisation occurs and pre-cavity lesions repaired into healthy teeth.
