Xylitol - For Those with Good Taste
Epic Dental products contain Xylitol, a powerful all-natural new tool to improve your family’s oral health.
Not a chemical or a drug. Xylitol is completely natural and even produced by the human body during normal metabolism (up to 15 grams daily from other foods). Epic xylitol comes from a variety of natural plant sources including Birch trees.
Xylitol’s the main reason we proudly and rather boldly (for us) offer you the Epic Cavity-Free Guarantee.
Xylitol & Epic - Why Cavities Hate Us
Bacteria Cause Cavities. Certain types of bacteria, especially cavity-causing bacteria, produce acid that breaks down the calcium and phosphate bonds in the tooth causing these essential components to leach out. The tooth eventually gets so weak, that large holes form.
Brushing & Flossing Don't Eliminate Bacteria. Your dentist can repair cavities with fillings, but fillings don't eliminate bacteria. Brushing and flossing simply aren't enough to stop cavity-causing bacteria. And unless you use a new toothbrush every time you brush you're actually reintroducing bacteria into your mouth.
Xylitol Reduces Bacteria. Xylitol's unique molecular structure works against bacteria. In fact, studies show that 6 grams of the xylitol found in Epic reduce acid-producing bacteria. By reducing the bacteria, you reduce cavities. As a result, doctors and dentists recommend xylitol.
Epic Uses Significantly More Xylitol. As a result of our love affair with this wonderful tool. Epic has several patents pending on our uses of xylitol. We encourage you to compare us to the other brands.

Xylitol tastes and looks like sugar. Studies have shown that xylitol reduces the amount of tooth eating acid produced by the bacteria in our mouth and that xylitol helps reduce ear infections. Because of these and other health benefits, many consider Xylitol a healthy alternative to sugar. In fact, the xylitol in Epic products may be useful in diabetic diets.
Xylitol is Good for Your Whole Family
Xylitol has been approved for use by people of all ages. Studies suggest that children especially, can benefit from using xylitol. In fact, in most of the xylitol research studies, children have been the key participants.
Ideal exposure time is best determined by the family’s dentist or pediatrician and will vary as children age, but in most cases as few as 6-8 grams a day will provide tremendous benefits. Studies have shown that 6-8 grams of xylitol daily can help reduce cavities in kids by as much as 80%.
Interestingly, studies have also shown that xylitol can strongly impact the bacteria that causes many inner-ear infections.*
In one study, children who regularly chewed gum containing 8 grams of xylitol per day had an almost 50% reduction in ear infections.* For this reason, Epic is pediatrician recommended and healthy for kids.
