Xylitol Toothpaste

Xylitol toothpaste gives your daily oral care routine a fresh, gentle way to brush. Xylitol is a naturally derived sweetener used in select Tom's of Maine formulas to give toothpaste a pleasant taste without sugar or artificial sweeteners. Unlike sugar, xylitol isn't a food source for the bacteria that cause cavities, which is part of why it has become a familiar ingredient in oral care. Tom's of Maine toothpaste with xylitol comes in fluoride and fluoride-free options, including SLS-free formulas, and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, with every ingredient listed by purpose and source. Use a manual toothbrush and brush at least twice a day thoroughly to help reduce plaque and keep your mouth feeling fresh.

In Tom's of Maine formulas, xylitol works alongside the rest of the ingredient list — sweetening the paste so that fluoride, gentle abrasives, and flavor oils can do their jobs in a toothpaste you'll actually want to use twice a day. Pair your toothpaste with natural mouthwash, and check each product page to see where xylitol appears across our oral care products, for both adult and kids' routines.
