The key ingredients in our mouthwash are compounds extracted from maple and green tea that prevent the cavity causing bacteria from sticking to teeth. Our product has no sugar (sucrose), instead we have xylitol. Xylitol is a natural sweetener that is derived from birch trees. Harmful bacteria that contribute to cavities are unable to digest xylitol, therefore xylitol does not contribute to cavity formation. Studies have shown that xylitol alone can reduce the number of cavity causing bacteria in the mouth. Additionally, our mouthwash has alkaline properties that neutralize harmful acids, helping to prevent tooth erosion. You and your kids will love our variety of flavors, with bubblegum, watermelon, and of course maple!
