5.0 out of 5 stars
2 boys under 10 love it, October 5, 2005
This review is from: Xlear - Spry Gum Fresh Fruit, 100 gum (Health and Beauty)
My review of the literature suggested xylitol gum to reduce or prevent ear infections. My son had several ear infections after bouts with allergies and one dose of penicillin for the infection nearly landed him in the hospital due to a severe allergic reaction.
My choice is to be proactive and reduce the bacteria in the mouth that migrates and causes ear infections. The gum tastes great and he hasn't had an ear infection since. WE bought him the toothpaste too and he brushes all the time with it.

Very sweet, January 3, 2007
This review is from: Xlear - Spry Gum Fresh Fruit, 100 gum (Health and Beauty)
This gum is good but I got sick of it after a while, it's just a bit too sweet for me. However, that said, it's perfect for the children. My daughter religiously asks for it after every meal and after she brushes her teeth! How many products that are good for their tooth health do kids actually ask for??

tastes kinda like juicy fruit, February 13, 2008
okay. so, the flavor wears off real fast. be forewarned about that.
BUT-----this gum is perfect for my needs. i had wanted something to clean my teeth/mouth in between meals (like at work after having a snack when i can't brush my teeth) I don't intend to chew it very long so the fact that the flavor wears off fast doesn't bother me. I answer phones at work anyway so i can't sit there chomping on gum.....
My breath seems fresh & my mouth feels clean, so mission accomplished :)
One other thing i noticed that is AWESOME is that my sinuses are clearing out a lot. I am always feeling stuffed up & have sinus problems every day. i often feel a lump in my throat when i swallow. I have allergies & silent reflux at night so the whole area is irritated. especially after consuming sugar, it gets worse.
so anyway i chewed about 6 pieces of this gum today over the past 2 hrs & i feel SO much better. I knew xylitol has anti-bacterial properties but everything i had read spoke of how good it is for your teeth. that is why i bought it. it didn't occur to me that there were other benefits. So i didn't realize when i bought the gum is that people actually use xylitol as a nasal wash & even to clear up ear infections. i discovered this only after clearly noticing the effects on myself. it was so drastic that i did more research online (google of course). I mean the change was so noticable for me that i thought this can't be just a coincidence & went to look it up. and lo & behold it is used to cure sinus & ear infections! i also bought xylitol granules to use as sweetener in my tea instead of regular sugar. now i'm going to dissolve it in mater & gargle with it too. and I will continue to use this gum every day as well.
