Products appear to be more effective than products for preventing cavities containing sorbitol. However, some manufacturers of chewing gum include xylitol in only milligram quantities, which is much less compared to gram doses that prevent tooth decay. It”s not understood if xylitol helps prevent cavities in children less than 5 decades
