On top of that, they have to get rid of habits that will harm their baby, such as drinking and smoking, and make big changes to their lives.\u00a0Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams like to give tips for great dental health in every stage of life, so here\u2019s one that both mother and baby\u2019s teeth will benefit from: chew xylitol gum during and after pregnancy. Please read on for the details and feel free to give\u00a0Carolina Complete Dental a call if you have any questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Xylitol and Dental Health<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve read our blog on xylitol, you know it\u2019s a naturally occurring sugar substitute with a number of dental and general health properties. Here\u2019s the basic picture:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Xylitol looks and tastes like ordinary table sugar, however\u2026<\/li>\n<li>Cavity-causing bacteria cannot metabolize xylitol<\/li>\n<li>Xylitol inhibits bacteria\u2019s ability to stick to teeth and form plaque<\/li>\n<li>Xylitol helps teeth repair during the remineralization process<\/li>\n<li>Chewing xylitol gum stimulates the flow of saliva<\/li>\n<li>Studies have shown that xylitol reduces caries (tooth decay) in at-risk and low-risk populations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why Moms should Chew Xylitol Gum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the above benefits, xylitol is recommended for pregnant women, and mothers of infants and young children. The bacteria responsible for tooth decay are often transferred between mother and child through oral contact, which can account for a baby\u2019s first cavities. Chewing xylitol gum during pregnancy and for the first few years of a child\u2019s life is a great way to stop that from happening. According to the Journal of the American Dental Association, there is a growing body of research suggesting that, \u201cwhen mothers of infants and young children chew xylitol-sweetened gum, it will block transmission of mutans streptococci from mother to child\u201d (Burt, 2006).<\/p>\n<p>Carolina Complete Dental\u00a0wants all\u00a0Goose Creek mothers and their children to get the excellent dental care they deserve, so please give us a call with any questions or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xylitol.org\/dental-benefits-of-xylitol\">http:\/\/www.xylitol.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Xylitol\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Xylitol<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tridentgum.com\/textonly\/faq\">http:\/\/www.tridentgum.com\/textonly\/faq<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jada.ada.org\/content\/137\/2\/190.abstract\">http:\/\/jada.ada.org\/content\/137\/2\/190.abstract<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expecting mothers in [CITY] have a lot to think about.
