x-pur mint gums and fruit pastilles bottles
100% Xylitol Gums and Pastilles

The #1 gums & pastilles recommended by dental & medical professionals to stimulate saliva

MECHANISM OF ACTION

To stimulate saliva production : Its delightful taste, combined with its sweet and intensely refreshing effect, stimulates the nervous system to produce saliva, which generates an extremely efficient increase of the oral pH. To reduce the incidence of dental caries : The tooth decay-causing bacteria are not able to metabolize xylitol, which results in an absence of lactic acid and polysaccharides production.

Testimonials

Love this stuff. I have a condition that dries my mouth out so I always have one of these in each cheek. My dentist doesn't worry because this is sugar free and has some antibacterial benefits to it. If I've forgotten to put a couple of pieces in my mouth I can defiantly tell. My mouth feels dirtier. Hope this helps someone.
