Review on 🦷 Weldental Peppermint Chewtab Toothpaste Tablets by Eric Hay

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Essentially like sugar free chewing gum (I'm not a dentist)

Wish I had done more research before buying. It's up to me I've been using these pills for a few days now and am wondering why my teeth still feel dirty after brushing. I thought at first that I needed more than one tablet, which would be annoying, but not the end of the world. This didn't help either. So I looked for xylitol as the label says it makes up 60% of the pills. I was expecting it to be some sort of natural teeth cleaner or something. no Xylitol is a sugar alcohol. It's natural and found in almost everything, including dental products, that you find in the store. It's an ingredient in sugar-free chewing gum, making it "dentist-approved." However, this is not because he brushes his teeth. The bacteria in your mouth that cause tooth decay feed on sugar. When they come into contact with xylitol, they eat it, but it's basically like a bird eating a plastic bag: it looks like food, but it kills the animal and prevents it from doing its job. As such, xylitol gum is only good for your teeth because it kills bacteria that would otherwise thrive on sugar-filled gum. I'm not a dentist, but it seems to me that this is not enough for the teeth. Toothpaste. Who knows, maybe that's it. I have very good oral hygiene, so I feel like I can risk using a toothpaste that just kills bacteria for a few months. So I will continue to use this until my next dentist visit in four months and then I will ask my dentist for her opinion on both the effectiveness of the xylitol based toothpaste and this toothpaste in particular. If I'm wrong and these are more than expensive mints, I'll change my review. In any case, I'll update what my dentist says.

Pros
