  be careful, I use xylitol regularly for the same reasons but I find that it makes me tired and fuzzy if I take the same amount as sugar. I have suffered a lot with teeth problems since a child, but now at close to 40 I have managed to stabilize oral health and haven't had a cavity in more than 10 years. There are new toothpastes in the market that combine remineralizing agents besides fluoride and they seem to work for me. I like Biorepair the best, but I find the Novamin based toothpastes OK as well. The key is to not let the ph drop too low ( avoid acidic foods ) and to rinse after acid attacks instead of brushing as the mechanical abrasion from brushing combined with the previous acid attack can damage your teeth. Good luck, teeth problems suck.

  Also consider checking out products with Erythritol (eg Sobe Zero): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythritol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythritol "Erythritol has been certified as tooth-friendly. The sugar alcohol cannot be metabolized by oral bacteria, so does not contribute to tooth decay. Erythritol exhibits some, but not all, of xylitol's tendency to "starve" harmful bacteria. Unlike xylitol, erythritol is actually absorbed into the bloodstream after consumption but before excretion. However, it is not clear at present if the effect of starving harmful bacteria occurs systemically."
