Xylitol is better: Try to find chewing gum or mints with xylitol and no citric acid. Xylitol is naturally occurring and derived from birch bark (better) or corn. Xylitol can be a sugar substitute and comes in granulated forms, gums, or mints. It inhibits the cavity causing bacteria, s. Mutans and controls your mouth's ph so acid producing bacteria or liquids can't hurt your teeth.
