Xylitol
Xylitol is a plant based alcohol sugar that is good for teeth! It kills “bad” bacteria and helps to alkalize the mouth. Trade in the “bad” (i.e., sugary) candy for some xylitol candy and do your mouth a favor. Listed below are some xylitol products we like:
- Dr. John’s Candy: https://www.drjohns.com/
- Zellie’s Candy and Mints: http://zellies.com/
- Xylimelts: https://www.oracoat.com/
- Spry Dental Defense: http://www.xlear.com/store/spry-dental-defense.html
- Trident and Orbit Gum: read the ingredients and make sure it has xylitol
Oral Probiotics
The mouth is filled with millions of bacteria all of which are part of the normal oral flora. Some bacteria are beneficial, and some are damaging. By taking an oral probiotic, patients can shift the numbers of bacteria into more of the good direction and help to crowd out the bad bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease. The best time to take an oral probiotic is after a dental cleaning when the bad bacteria numbers have been decreased. Wouldn’t it be great to fill this void with helpful bacteria that promote teeth and gum health! We recommend EvoraPro oral probiotics to our patients.

High Quality Electric Toothbrush
Dr. Markham has found that a high quality electric toothbrush does a better job at cleaning teeth over manual brushing, for most patients. His favorite power toothbrush is a Phillip’s Sonicare.
