It appears that sugar-free gums, while not as good as 100% Xylitol gum, also have some beneficial effects. Sugar-containing gum, after the sugar is gone, also may have some beneficial effect on remineralization.
Best results are obtained with pure Xylitol gum.

Where to obtain Xylitol gum:

From some Health Food Stores and on the Web at: www.bnatural.com/edibles.htm#Xylifresh
