Continuing Education Meeting

Nasal and Respiratory

Benefits of  Xylitol

Presented by:

  Angie Stone, RDH, BS

Lead Xylitol Educator

Wasatch Sales Force

Course Outline:


Health begins right up front, in the nose and mouth. The nose and the mouth are
the gateways to our respiratory system and our entire digestive system. Bacteria
that enter through these portals and simply pass through do not cause any
problems, but when harmful bacteria make their home in the upper respiratory
tract, they breed and multiply. This invasion can lead to sinus infections,
pneumonia, ear infections, and can even trigger asthmatic attacks. A
revolutionary approach to inhibiting this bacterial assault is the utilization of
xylitol.

Objectives of this course are to help attendees:

• Describe the natural nasal defense mechanism

• Understand how xylitol can improve respiratory health

• State how poor oral care can lead to pneumonia

• Discuss how xylitol can reduce middle ear infections

• Appreciate how this knowledge applies to the dental professional and their
patients
