In fact xylitol tricks bacteria. They feast on it and then die. It remineralises teeth. Bacteria stop producing acid and xylitol kills many bacteria outright - including streptococcus mutans. Over time fewer bacteria thrive on tooth surfaces and your oral health improves. It helps keep the mouth in a PH neutral state.
