Xyli-Tots Professional Products for Kids; Because They Deserve to be Cavity-Free

Xyli-Tots products come in great flavors that kids will love.

The Center for Disease Control reports that "dental caries, is the number one childhood disease affecting kids in America.", this is the motivation for the development of a new product line just for kids named Xyli-Tots. These products were designed by dentists, specifically for kids, to provide the best opportunity for cavity prevention. Xyli-Tots focuses on two key therapeutic points: Dental caries is a pH driven infection and xylitol is an extremely effective sugar substitute that limits the ability of decay-causing bacteria to produce an acidic environment.

Albany, Oregon (PRWEB) November 20, 2008 -- Xyli-Tots (http://www.carifree.com/dentists/products/kids_home.php) are a new line of products designed by dentists, specifically for kids, to provide the best opportunity for cavity prevention. The motivation for the development of the line comes from CDC reports that the bacterial infection responsible for causing dental decay, "dental caries, is the number one childhood disease affecting kids in America." Frame of reference . . . number two in line is asthma, and dental caries is 5 times more prevalent.

According to the CDC

• 28% of children ages 2-5 have already had decay in their primary (baby) teeth.

• 50% of children have experienced tooth decay by age 11.

• 68% of 19 year olds have experienced tooth decay in their permanent teeth. More than two-thirds!

• Low income children are twice as likely to experience decay than children of higher income families.

• 52,000,000 school hours are lost each year due to dental disease.

The Xyli-Tots products, part of the CariFree (http://www.carifree.com/dentists/index.html) family, focus on a few key therapeutic points:

1. Dental caries is a pH driven infection. The types of bacteria that cause cavities thrive in an acidic environment. Products that can successfully neutralize the mouth limit the ability of these bacteria to thrive. These concepts are further explored in a groundbreaking work by dental caries expert Dr. Philip Marsh (http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6831/6/S1/S14) of the UK.

2. Xylitol (http://www.carifree.com/dentists/cavities_a_to_z/Xylitol.html) is an extremely effective sugar substitute that limits the ability of decay-causing bacteria to produce the acidic environment they thrive within. It is these acids that promote the demineralization of the enamel of the tooth and eventual cavitation.

Armed with this knowledge, the design of the Xyli-Tots line focuses on ways to deliver high pH, xylitol-rich products to infants and children of all ages, in a way that is fun and tastes great. For the infant and toddler, single-use Oral Wipes moistened with a high pH, high xylitol-content solution allow for easy, on-the-go cleaning of teeth and gums. This same solution is used in a Mouth Spray, loved by toddlers, who are too young to chew gum or rinse and spit. Xyli-Tots Tooth Gel is a fluoride and sodium lauryl sulfate-free tooth gel safe for brushing for all ages. And Xyli-Tots Anticavity Rinse provides the same xylitol and neutralizing benefit, combined with fluoride for ages 6 and up. Products are available in Grape Giggles, Watermelon Wiggles, and Citrus Smiles flavors that kids can barely complain about.
