Why Choose XyloSalt
Dr. Hahn developed his line of natural products mainly because everything his patients were buying was somehow falling short of what they promised, while at the same time not educating the patient about the negatives that may be present. XyloSalt combines Sea Salt and Xylitol, creating a potent healing aid. No preservatives, colors, or other ingredients that you can’t pronounce. Just the good stuff!
1. Proper PH:The mouth is a very complex environment, and minor changes in the acidity of the mouth can have major negative consequences. The normal PH of the mouth is about 7.4, roughly neutral. Bacteria and other organisms such as fungi live in acidic environments. Teeth start to demineralize at about a PH of 5.5, making them much more susceptible to bacteria, which of course do much better in that lower PH environment. This is a vicious cycle, and eventually the result is tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Many mouthwashes are preserved at a PH of much less than 5.5…That just does not make any sense. Take a look at the following well known mouthwashes and their PH:
The Natural Dentist: PH 3.2
Peroxyl: PH 3.7
Listerine: PH 4.3
BreathRX: PH 4.7
Scope: PH 5.4
XyloSalt is a powder that is added to water, so it is the perfect PH. No need for preservation – use the product for a week and discard any that may be left.
2. No Alcohol: Alcohol is another way to preserve a mouthwash, or claim that it kills bacteria. Certainly alcohol kills bacteria, but alcohol may irritate the sensitive oral tissues as well. Just by the vast amount of “alcohol free” mouthwashes now available it is apparent that people don’t like the burning sensation it creates. There is great controversy regarding alcohol in the mouth, but I never recommended it to my patients and I have frequently been able to identify patients who use high alcohol containing mouthwashes through the appearance of their red gum tissue. Removing this irritant from their daily routine made a significant difference.
3. Other Herbal ingredients: While some herbal ingredients are wonderful for the mouth, not all are always appropriate. This goes along the lines that while a few are good, more are not always better. Some “natural” products have almost every herb available in it. This concerned me because we know relatively little about herbs and should use them with more caution. Some herbs are not to be used while pregnant, yet I see many mouthwashes out there that have these herbs in them yet have no warning regarding a possible conflict. This is unfortunately because the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) does not regulate herbs. My products use only a few highly effective herbs that can be used safely by anybody.
XyloSalt is pure. Almost every herb can be described as “good for you” in some environment. XyloSalt only focuses on what has worked for hundreds of years, Sea Salt, and adds Xylitol to make it more pleasant and effective.
4. Other Ingredients: Most mouthwashes and toothpastes contain a list of ingredients that only a chemist can understand. That does not scream “natural” to me, and I feel we need to get away from science coloring our products and making them smell and taste good artificially. Most people now are aware of such names as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, but many more exist. Dr. Hahn’s Naturals strives to maintain the highest level of natural organic quality possible, without the use of any product that are known to be possibly harmful.
XyloSalt was formulated by a Dentist, not a Chemist!
5. Extraordinary Claims:Many products have claims that seem too good to be true. As the general rule goes, if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. No product exists that can single handedly make a significant difference without proper oral hygiene. “Curing” periodontal disease, for instance, just is not possible; it is a disease that can be maintained quite well, but it is always present once you have it. If optimal oral health is your objective then a comprehensive approach is required, which includes seeing your dentist and dental hygienist regularly, brushing and flossing, as well as having a proper diet.
Dr. Hahn’s Naturals was founded by Dr. Hahn because of the above reasons, and we stand behind our products 100%. Please do your research on the internet regarding the above points, the vast amount of information available could never be properly summarized here. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us anytime.
