OREM, UT--(Marketwire - April 24, 2008) - Xlear Inc., the leading manufacturer of xylitol
products, today released its Spry Tooth Gel with a specially designed infant
pacifier. The pacifier features a small reservoir that can hold a small
amount of xylitol-rich tooth gel for effective distribution. Spry Tooth Gel
is an all-natural gel sweetened with 100 percent xylitol, an all-natural sweetener
that helps reduce cavities. The gel is used for application on the teeth
and gums of infants and toddlers to help provide early defense and
long-term protection against tooth decay.
Clinical studies have proven that consistent use of products sweetened with
100 percent xylitol can reduce dental plaque formation, inhibit the ability
of cavity-causing, plaque-forming bacteria to adhere to teeth, and reduce
cavities by up to 80 percent. In addition, xylitol
research studies have shown that infants get much of the bacteria that
cause cavities from their mothers who pass on the bacteria when they test
or share food with their children. In addition to providing a healthy
portion of xylitol, Spry Tooth Gel also contains tooth strengthening
calcium.
"Our tooth gel has always been popular among mothers because it tastes
great and provides tremendous benefits for children," said Blaine Yates,
chief executive officer of Xlear, Inc. "We have made our product even
better with completely new packaging and a new pacifier that provides a
very effective way for infants to get the xylitol on their teeth at an
early age. The sooner children start to use xylitol products, the better
off they will be now and in the future. While in the past parents would put
the gel on a soft tooth brush or cotton swab, now they can put it directly
into a high-quality pacifier to kick-start their children's oral care."
The tooth gel is part of Xlear's Spry
Dental Defense System, which includes Spry Coolmint Toothpaste, Spry
Coolmint Oral Rinse, and Spry gums and mints. Unlike regular toothpaste,
Spry Tooth Gel is safe to swallow. Before an infant begins teething, Xlear
recommends administering Spry Tooth Gel using the specially designed
pacifier. As children suck on the pacifier, their teeth and gums are coated
with pleasant tasting xylitol. Xlear recommends using the gel and pacifier
three to five times per day, following meals and snacks, and washing the
pacifier after each application.
