More Than a Breath Mint Most mints cover up breath with sugar or synthetic sweeteners. Ora Flora mints are nearly pure organic birch xylitol — about 3g per mint — with a postbiotic lactobacillus blend and real botanical flavor. Sugar-free, food-grade, and made to dissolve slowly after meals. Frequent between-meal consumption of foods high in sugars and starches promotes tooth decay. The xylitol in Ora Flora mints does not promote tooth decay. Why Xylitol The sugar-loving bacteria in your mouth can't ferment xylitol. They absorb it, can't use it, and burn energy trying. That's why xylitol has become the sweetener of choice for people serious about oral health — and why ours is nearly pure xylitol, not a candy with a little xylitol in it. Many dental professionals suggest 6–10g of xylitol a day, spread across several exposures. Two to three Ora Flora mints gets you there. What's Inside Organic birch xylitol — birch-derived, not corn.

How to Use Have one after meals. Hold it in your mouth and move it around as it dissolves — don't chew it. Two to three a day is the sweet spot. New to xylitol? Start with one or two a day; larger amounts can cause digestive upset in some people. They're also great after brushing at night. Keep away from dogs — xylitol is toxic to them. 200g pouch, about 60 mints. Mints vs. Gum Mints dissolve slowly and reach every surface of your mouth. Gum spikes saliva fast and dilutes the xylitol. Mints also work for people with dental work or jaw sensitivity. Frequently Asked Questions How many xylitol mints should I have a day? Two to three. At about 3g of xylitol each, that lands in the 6–10g range many dental professionals suggest. Spread them out — after meals works best. Can I have one before bed? Yes. After brushing at night is one of the best times — xylitol doesn't feed the bacteria that ferment sugar. Are there downsides to xylitol? In larger amounts, xylitol can cause gas or loose stools in some people, especially at first. Start with one or two a day and build up. And keep them away from dogs — xylitol is toxic to them. Are xylitol mints better than xylitol gum? Mints dissolve slowly and coat your whole mouth; gum releases its xylitol fast and dilutes it with saliva. Mints are also easier on dental work and jaws.
