by Anonymous

OREM, UT March 11, 2004 -– Xlear, Inc., a leading manufacturer of xylitol products, today expanded its SpryTM Dental Defense System product line with the release of SpryTM Infant Tooth Gel, an all-natural gel used for application on the teeth and gums of infants and toddlers. The Infant Tooth Gel is sweetened with 100 percent xylitol, an all-natural sweetener that helps fight cavities.

Introduced in 2003, the Spry Dental Defense System is a growing line of cavity fighting oral health products that combines xylitol’s sweetness and its unique capability to combat bacteria. Clinical studies have shown that consistent use of products sweetened with 100 percent xylitol can reduce cavities by as much as 80 percent. Spry Infant Tooth Gel offers a naturally sweet way to help in providing long-term protection against tooth decay for infants and toddlers.

“The sooner children start to regularly use xylitol products, such as our new tooth gel, the more protection against cavities they will have now and long into the future,” said Nathan Jones, president of Xlear, Inc. “Our Spry Dental Defense System is designed to encourage daily use of xylitol products, from toothpaste to chewing gum. With the introduction of our tooth gel, parents now have a sweet and effective solution to help their babies and toddlers, who are just cutting teeth, to benefit from the unique qualities of xylitol.”

Xylitol-rich products enhance dental health by creating an unfriendly environment for cavity-causing bacteria. In a xylitol-rich environment, the bacteria lose their ability to stick to each other, as well as to the teeth. As a result, there is less dental plaque build-up on the teeth. Also, in the presence of xylitol, the bacteria cannot produce the usual amounts of acid, therefore decreasing the acidity of any dental plaque that may remain.

Xylitol-rich products, like those provided by Xlear, have been known to provide the following benefits:
•Help reduce the chance of cavities by up to 80 percent;
•Inhibit the ability of cavity-causing, plaque-forming bacteria to stick to teeth;
•Help reverse early cavity formation – remineralization;
•Help reduce gum tissue inflammation; and
•Help reduce ear infections by up to 40 percent.

In addition to the Infant Tooth Gel, Xlear, Inc.’s Spry Dental Defense System consists of Coolmint xylitol oral rinse, Coolmint xylitol toothpaste, and a variety of xylitol-rich mints and chewing gum.
