Removing Cavities with Xylitol Gum

Removing Cavities with Xylitol Gum (Chemical derived from the Birch Plant) or White Pine Oil Pull..

Xylitol, derived primarily from the birch tree (Betula pendula), offers substantial benefits for dental health by reducing cavity formation and promoting enamel remineralization. The extraction and processing methods ensure a high-quality product used widely in sugar-free gums and other dental products, providing a sweet and health-promoting alternative to traditional sugar.

Chemical Nature: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol, classified as a polyol.

Taste Profile: Has a sweetness similar to sucrose (table sugar) but with fewer calories.

Uses: Commonly used as a sugar substitute, particularly in sugar-free gum and dental products due to its beneficial effects on oral health.

Birch Tree: The primary source of xylitol is the birch tree, scientifically known as Betula pendula. Xylitol is extracted from the hemicellulose part of birch wood, where it exists in the form of xylose. The birch wood chips undergo an extraction process to isolate hemicellulose, particularly xylan, which is composed of xylose units. This is typically achieved through acid hydrolysis, breaking down the hemicellulose into xylose monomers. The xylose solution is purified by removing lignin and other impurities, often through filtration and/or precipitation techniques.

If you dont want to use a chemical made by man, you can always use Eastern white pine oil to brush with as well as to oil pull.
