Zellie's Xylitol Mints vs Gum for Oral Health Effectiveness

Tips

• Xylitol mints and gum are equally effective at improving oral health.
• Xylitol in the mints immediately begins to stimulate mineral-rich saliva regardless if you choose to suck them or chew them.
• Xylitol in the gum immediately begins to stimulate mineral-rich saliva because xylitol is in the gum coating.
• Chew xylitol gum 2-10 minutes because after approximately 10 minutes, saliva stimulates digestive enzymes that counteract the benefits of the mineral-rich saliva.
• People with braces or dentures may prefer mints.
