Xylitol – This is a naturally occurring sugar that helps prevent decay and repairs decalcified teeth. Xylitol starves the bacteria in plaque that causes cavities.  As plaque levels decrease, acid levels in saliva also decrease.  When acid level is reduced, minerals in the saliva re-harden decalcified tooth structure (white spots and beginning decay).  Spry Chewing Gum contains high levels of Xylitol.  Spry Gum should be chewed 3-8 times daily, immediately after eating or drinking.  Spry Gum, mints and candies are available on-line at www.sprygum.com.

ViziLite Plus  is an oral cancer screening exam.  At Magnuson Dental Design we use Vizilite Plus for patients for early detection of abnormalities in the mouth, such as precancerous and cancerous lesions.  Early detection is key!  When oral cancer is found early the treatment is less invasive and the success rate is as high as 82%.  How does Vizilite work?  Who is at risk?  For more information or to schedule a Vizilite exam please contact our office.
