ABOUT OUR MAIN
INGREDIENTS
Xylitol is a natural plant-based ingredient found in many fruits and vegetables and is part of the daily human metabolism. Reduced saliva flow is a concern for many people because when saliva flow is poor, calcium and phosphate (key minerals for the health of your teeth) are not effectively deposited on the enamel, presenting a greater risk of cavities. Xylitol stimulates the flow of saliva, which allows these minerals to bind in order to keep the enamel strong and minimize plaque adhesion. Plaque bacteria cannot metabolize Xylitol as a food and are depleted as they try to communicate and reproduce in the biofilm community. Therefore, since the bacteria do not metabolize Xylitol, they die and cannot adhere to your teeth.
Dental fluoride is an ingredient that works in the remineralization process of the mouth, replenishing the calcium and phosphorus that keep teeth strong. It has been proven to effectively reduce the occurrence of cavities. When you use a fluoride toothpaste, your tooth enamel is strengthened, helping to repair teeth that have developed mild decalcification (the first stage of tooth surface fracture). Hundreds of scientific studies have shown that fluoride toothpaste helps control tooth decay and that regularly brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste is a reliable way to improve oral health. It is a good idea for children over the age of six to use a fluoride toothpaste. Younger children can also use it if they are at high risk of caries.
Keep in mind the following: no matter how much you like the taste of toothpaste, you should never swallow it. No type of toothpaste, whether it contains fluoride or not, should be swallowed. For this reason, many dentists advise against children under six years of age using fluoride toothpaste, and if they do, it should be under the supervision of an adult to make sure they don´t swallow it. Therefore, you should be sure to keep all fluoride products, including toothpastes and mouthwashes, out of the reach of children. For older children, adolescents and adults whose teeth are fully developed and are conscious that toothpaste or mouthwash should not be ingested, there is no risk.
