"As a mother of 5 children, and a dentist, I wanted to give my children the gift of healthy teeth--a gift that would last a lifetime. Thirty years of research has helped me to give you a way to protect your children's teeth and let them enjoy optimum oral health without dental pain and fear" - Dr. Ellie Phillips
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) Survey:
- Nearly 20% of children between 2 and 4 years have experienced a cavity.
- By age 17, nearly four out of five young people have had at least one cavity.
Xylitol and your family:
- When children eat Xylitol, it can reduce the chance of cavities up to 80%.
- Imagine how happy your children will be to avoid dental treatments.
- Imagine how good it will feel giving them the gift of a healthy smile!
The problem:
- It is acids that damage a child's teeth.
- Acids can be from foods and drinks, but also from "cavity forming" germs on your teeth.
How to prevent the problem:
- Sugar is involved in the problem. Sugar is virtually everywhere: in sodas, snacks, foods, even in some things we would never guess contain sugar, such as medications and certain toothpastes.
- Many parents have tried to control sugar but children today consume it in record amounts.
The surprising facts:
- Sugar itself doesn't harm teeth, but it gives "acid making" germs the energy to grow. Even tiny amounts of sugar help them multiply.
- The more germs, the more acids in your mouth
Parents take charge!
- After a year of eating a few grams of xylitol each day, harmful germs can be reduced by as much as 90%
- Xylitol also protects teeth from acids.

My sister discovered that her son was having cavity and took him to a dentist Torrance nearby. They not only filled the cavity and eased the pain but also told him to start brushing twice a day so the problem doesn’t reoccur again.
The post is written in very a good manner and it contains many useful information for me. Teeth in a day Coventry
