The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recognizes the benefits of xylitol on the oral health of infants, children, adolescents, and persons with special health care needs.

The use of XYLITOL GUM by mothers (2-3times per day) starting at birth and until the child was 3 years old, has proven to reduce cavities up to 70% by the time the child was 5 years old.

Studies using xylitol as either a sugar substitute or a small dietary addition have demonstrated a dramatic reduction in new tooth decay, along with reversal of existing dental caries. Xylitol effect is long-lasting and possibly permanent. Low decay rates persist even years after the trials have been completed. Xylitol is widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts. Some of the best sources are hardwoods, fruits, berries, mushrooms, lettuce and corn cobs. One cup of raspberries contains less than one gram on xylitol.

Studies suggest xylitol intake that consistently produces positive results ranged from 6 to 10 grams per day, divided into 3-7 consumption periods. Higher results did not result in greater reduction and may lead to diminishing results. Similarly consumption frequency of less than 3 times per day showed ho effect.
