I keep seeing things indicating this is good for your teeth (e.g. chewing gum with xylitol) but can't tell if it is astro-turfing or not (on my list of things to research when I retire).

- themodelplumber 4y agoI've asked three different dentists about it and they all said it actively prevents tooth decay, in so many words. Two of them also mentioned hydration being really good during the same conversation fwiw.
- darkerside 4y agoPersonal experience, it really helps. I credit it to having good dentist visits despite mediocre dental hygiene.
