More than a Mint
Fresh breath is the side effect. Xylitol is the point: it starves the bacteria that cause cavities, every time you have a mint.
Protects teeth
Xylitol starves the bacteria that cause cavities.
No sugar
Sweetened with xylitol only. No aspartame, no sorbitol.
Clean label
Five ingredients. Nothing you cannot pronounce.
Pocket tin
1.75oz, about 50 mints, flat enough for a back pocket.
Peppermint case
One case holds 12 tins. Each tin holds about 50 mints, 1.75oz (50g). That is 600 mints, enough for two people to reach 6g of xylitol a day for a month.
Xylitol is toxic to dogs. Keep tins away from pets.
Sugar feeds cavities. Xylitol starves them.
You have a mint
Xylitol coats the teeth and dissolves slowly.
Bacteria take it up
S. mutans absorbs xylitol but cannot ferment it.
Acid production stops
Less acid means less enamel erosion between brushings.
The daily xylitol amount used in dental research. Five mints, spread across the day, gets you there.
Six effects, one sugar alcohol.
Starves cavity-causing bacteria
Cariogenic pathogens (such as Streptococcus mutans) consume xylitol expecting sugar, but because they cannot digest or ferment it, they starve and fail to produce enamel-eroding acids.
Rebalances the oral microbiome
By suppressing acid-producing bacteria without wiping out beneficial flora, xylitol helps foster a healthier microbial ecosystem in the mouth.
Stimulates natural salivary flow
The sweet taste triggers salivation, which naturally introduces bicarbonate buffers to elevate oral pH and neutralize dietary acids.
Transports minerals into enamel
Xylitol forms molecular complexes with calcium ions naturally present in saliva, keeping them soluble and mobile to help deposit them back into tooth enamel.
Inhibits biofilm adhesion
It reduces the stickiness of plaque bacteria, making it harder for biofilm to cling to teeth and easier to clean away.
Provides sugar-free cavity protection
By substituting for fermentable sugars, it prevents the acid spikes that lead to tooth decay.
