    Holy strawman, Batman!

    Ya know what else kills bacteria in the mouth? Brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash.

    Regulate it. Got teeth so bad you need xylitol, get it from your dentist.

      So… Someone gets it from their dentist and it still kills your dog. What changed? Nothing. It’s not a common sweetener. There are much more common sugar alcohols and plenty of other sweeteners entirely. Xylitol gum is sold specifically as xylitol gum because of it’s antibacterial properties.
