But before we talk about Xylitol we first have to discuss cavities. Tooth decay is a preventable disease that is on the rise. It is one of the most common preventable childhood illnesses. But the key word is preventable. It doesn’t just happen. It’s not a fact of life. It requires the right conditions. Find out your risk factors. Learn how to mediate each one.
