Xylitol has a growing reputation as one of the most powerful preventive tools in the battle against dental caries. Recent studies have even suggested that by regularly chewing xylitol-based gum, mothers can significantly reduce the chance of spreading plaque-causing bacteria to their children. This is because xylitol has a unique chemical composition that is unfavourable to the metabolism of mutans streptococci – the bacteria most closely associated with tooth decay.

As a leading manufacturer of xylitol-based products, Spry produces a range of dentifrices, mints and gums designed to benefit any comprehensive oral hygiene regime. These products include Spry Fluoride Toothpaste, Spry Xlear Oral Rinse and Spry Chewing Gum – sweetened only with xylitol to promote overall good oral and dental care. Chewed after meals, the sugar-free chewing gum has been scientifically proven to help fight the bacteria that produce cavities.
