Made from plant fibers, <strong>xylitol<\/strong> has a comparable sweetness to sugar but doesn&rsquo;t create acid when it comes into contact with your mouth. Instead, it creates a neutral environment, in which harmful bacteria have a more difficult time clinging to teeth. That&rsquo;s why <strong>xylitol<\/strong> is also a common ingredient in some toothpaste brands. But <strong>xylitol<\/strong> can also be used to sweeten candy, and it can be used instead of sugar for baking.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you want to learn more about how <strong>xylitol<\/strong> can benefit your health? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lehighvalleydentalhealth.com\/contact-us.html\">Call<\/a> <strong>Dr. S.
