Xylitol: The Sweet Tooth Defender

🍭 Sugar is sweet — but it’s also sneaky. It feeds the bad bacteria in your mouth, leading to acid attacks that damage enamel and cause cavities. But what if there was a sugar that did the opposite?
Meet xylitol, a game-changing ingredient in our neen products. Are you wondering how xylitol stops caries and improves oral health? You’re about to find out.

😬 Why Sugar Is a Problem ?

Your mouth is full of bacteria — some good, some harmful. The bad ones (like Streptococcus mutans) love sugar. When you eat sugary snacks or use oral care products with artificial sweeteners, those bacteria turn sugar into acid. That acid wears down enamel and opens the door to cavities.

🛡️ How Xylitol Fights Back ?

Xylitol is a natural sweetener found in plants like birch trees and corn cobs. It tastes sweet — just like sugar — but acts completely differently in your mouth:

• 🦠 Starves harmful bacteria: They can’t digest xylitol, so they stop multiplying.
• 🧪 Reduces acidity: No sugar metabolism means no acid.
• 🤤 Boosts saliva: Xylitol increases salivary flow, which helps neutralize acids and clean teeth naturally.
• 🦷 Protects enamel: Helps maintain a healthier oral pH and supports remineralization.

🪥 Why We Use Xylitol in neen Products ?

We’ve added xylitol to our adult toothpaste, Kids Foam, and whitening formulas to give you:

• Sweet taste without cavity risk
• Enamel protection backed by science
• Extra defense for little teeth and sensitive mouths

No tricks. Just a smart, sweet swap that supports your oral health.

🦷 Bonus Tip from neen:

Chewing gum or rinsing with xylitol after meals is a great habit — especially for kids who snack often!
