Other Products

Xylitol
Xylitol can be a great addition, but to get the full cavity-fighting benefits, you need 6-10 grams/day. If you use gum or xylitol candies, be sure to research how much xylitol is in the product.

Rubber Tip Stimulator
This instrument is great at stimulating blood flow. We recommend always to use this around dental implants to gently massage the tissue but you can use this around natural teeth as well! Dr. Sonntag has a video on how to use a rubber tip stimulator.
