The Sweet Secret Behind Swish Mouthwash - Xylitol

When you think of mouthwash, you probably think of minty freshness and a quick rinse that leaves your breath feeling clean. But what if your mouthwash could do more than just freshen? With Swish, we’re all about giving your oral health a meaningful boost—and one of our star ingredients, xylitol, is doing just that.

What Is Xylitol?

Xylitol is a natural sweetener found in many fruits and vegetables, but it’s best known in the dental world for what it doesn’t do—feed harmful bacteria. Unlike sugar, xylitol actually starves the bad guys in your mouth, helping reduce decay instead of causing it.

Top Benefits of Xylitol in Swish Mouthwash:

1. Fights Cavities Naturally

Streptococcus mutans—the main bacteria behind tooth decay—can’t process xylitol. When they try, they end up starving and dying off. That means less acid, less plaque, and fewer cavities over time.

2. Balances Oral pH

Xylitol helps maintain a healthier pH level in your mouth, making it harder for acid-loving bacteria to thrive. After meals or sugary snacks, a quick swish can help neutralize that acid attack.

3. Reduces Dry Mouth

Xylitol stimulates saliva production, which is crucial for keeping your mouth moist and your enamel strong. If you deal with dry mouth (especially at night), this is a game-changer.

4. Freshens Breath (For Real)

Because xylitol helps cut down the bacteria that actually cause bad breath, you’re not just covering up odors—you’re addressing the source.

5. Safe and Naturally Sweet

Xylitol tastes sweet but has a low glycemic index, so it won’t spike blood sugar. It’s also a great alternative to artificial sweeteners and is totally safe for daily oral use.

Why Swish Uses Xylitol

We didn’t want to create just another rinse. We wanted a mouthwash that actually supports oral health long-term—without the burn, the alcohol, or the synthetic aftertaste. Xylitol lets us sweeten things up while protecting your smile.
