Quotes
"Everyday when we eat and drink our exposed teeth demineralize for a period of time."
"Fluoride hardens the tooth surfaces but does little to effect the bacterial presence in the mouth."
"Xylitol has no effect on the tooth but can starve out specific bacteria that are very acid producing."
"You don't need to consume a bunch of xylitol, just rather just have small amounts throughout the day."
"Here at Elevate we try to add xylitol to everything we can."
