March Dental Tips From Dr. Karen Fenichel and her team Could this be the next big dental health tool? Have you ever thought of chewing gum as as a way to keep your teeth healthy? A lot research has confirmed that chewing gum, breath mints and other foods made with Xylitol actually helps prevent tooth decay. Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar substitute that comes from the fiber in fruits and vegetables. Xylitol has been around since the 19th Century and is very popular in Europe, especially Finland. It was approved as “safe food additive” by the FDA in 1963. The first Xylitol gum was marketed in 1975. Some brands that use Xylitol are Stride, Orbit, Ice Breakers and Trident White Gum. You can also find Xylitol in hard candy and as a sweetener. If you’d like to try Xylitol-based gum, ask for a sample when you come to visit Dr. Fenichel and her team. Now, when was the last time your dentist offered you chewing gum?
