The gum flavor doesn’t last long but I think of xylitol used in this sense as more of a treatment than enjoyment, the full gram of xylitol per piece helps attain the 6-10g desired dose with multiple uses and the mechanical cleansing from chewing the gum helps clean the teeth of plaque and food debris when toothbrushing isn’t possible. The ADA recommends chewing gum for 20 or more minutes for the greatest benefit. I am not a huge fan of all recommendations promoted by Zellie’s founder (a dentist), but I do like her xylitol products.

Flavors: Spearmint, peppermint, cherry berry, citrus, and cinnamon. Also available in mints (half a gram of xylitol each and not the same ‘chewing cleansing’ benefit as the gum.

*Caution with TMJ as frequent gum chewing may lead to sensitivity, stop chewing gum as often if sensitivity arises.*

**CAUTION with dogs. Just a single piece of xylitol gum for a small dog can prove fatal.**
