Xylitol is very common but so is fluoride. So no it’s no accurate
Xylitol is definitely in a lot of tooth care products. And I do remember dentists saying to chew more gum or other xylitol products when I was younger.
Everybody uses fluoridated toothpaste and kids get fluoride supplements as pills. It’s not in the drinking water though.
I use xylitol gum, about once or twice a day, usually an hour or so after eating, while at work.
Chewing gum helps on several levels:
1. Chewing increases mouth saliva, so helps keep the mouth moist and saliva is acidic, so will keep breaking up small bits of food that may still be in your mouth, such as between teeth.
2. Xylitol is an anti-bacterial agent that will kill the bacteria in your mouth – both the unwanted that cause excessive tooth decay and the ones your body needs to help digest food.
Xylitol is also a bit of a laxative, so if you eat too much of it, you may find you need to visit the toilet a bit more often and/or urgently than you planned…
Side note – xylitol was originally developed as an anti-bacterial agent to stop mould on shower curtains. Happy chewing! 
Side note: Xylitol is poisonous to dogs so be careful
We use both
Idk, I’ve personally used both.
Yes. Although it’s all dentists, not just ”holistic ones”. I don’t actually even know what a holistic dentist is..
Every toothpaste almost haves it so that person has no clue about it
Generally, no, medical advice from social media influencers hawking product is not to be relied on.
I go to private dentist at Terveystalo and every dentist cleaning I’ve had here has ended with a fluoride coating.
IMHO, it’s more beneficial to watch over, adjust diet and eliminate bad habits rather than depending on another alcohol to counteract this natural process. For instance, I’ve seen people around here depending more and more on sugary drinks to ‘recharge their battery’, probably demanded by poor sleep, nutritionless diet, and excessive activity. Their huge loads of sugar, beside the so beloved and addictive candy, are one the highest feeds to the devilish bacteria and their acidic pooping.
Noi it’s not true. We use fluoride a lot. There are very few people who don’t use fluoride.
Yes and kids in china just learn important grownupstuff on the internet.
No. We use fluoride and xylitol. Xylitol is also a nice extra care when you chew bubblegum.
Fluoride is essential for tooth health.
Avoiding fluoride is just part of the new wave of ignorance like denying COVID vaccines, masks or saying the earth is flat.
Any dental professional worth their salt would say that this is complete horse hockey, since most studies prove that xylitol is not a substitute for fluoride when it comes to caries prevention.
No. Xylitol is recommended and commonly used, but it is *not* a replacement for using flouride. It’s supplementing the dental care.
The dentists even have an official statement that the manufacturers can apply for to use in their product, if it has a suitable amount of flouride (1450 ppm for adults, and 1000-1100 for children): “The Finnish Dental Association recommends the use of fluoride toothpaste in care of the teeth”.
Kids in Finnish kindergartens don’t brush their teeth after meals because someone decided it’s easier for teachers to just make kids eat lollies with xylitol.
I wasn’t really happy with that as a habit forming behaviour as most other countries kids will brush their teeth.
Drinking water in Finland is not fluoridated, and never was. There was a single city that tried it once, but they stopped it long ago. The reason was that teaching children to use fluoridated toothpaste in schools was found to be more effective.
Actually, the geology of Finland is such that there are areas where excess fluoride has to *removed* from drinking water. These are the regions where the bedrock is rapakivi granite, which are small but densely populated.
Water is not fluoridated here in Finland, but of course there are fluoride tooth pastes.
Some say its very few who dont use fluoride, where I would say it is more than just a few who dont. It is a knowledge on the rise also, the effects of fluoride is studied, and wildly ignored to both ends of it. Others say it has no benefit to protection and others say it has no effect to cognitive functions, however it is commonly agreed that if you do eat toothpaste you should go to care unit. My theory is it suggests a dominant feature of the hemisphere communication being leaned towards other end, that is the left(hemisphere), hence the idiocracy as shortness to self validate. Real deal
