Dental plaque, a sticky bacterial film that develops on dental enamel, reoccurs after every meal. Those microorganisms feed on sugar fermentation, produced by destructive acids attacking the teeth’s enamel. SweetPearl® maltitol powder does not produce acids or cause tooth decay as they are not metabolized by the oral bacteria. European regulation recognizes the nutritional benefits of polyols (Maintenance of Tooth Mineralization, Toothfriendly generic EU claims).
