Closys is used to normalize the ph in your mouth before brushing. see the short video at
Xylitol does this as well.
“Third, it raises the pH of the mouth. Cariogenic bacteria prefer living in a low pH environment and produce the acid that demineralizes enamel. In the presence of xylitol, the bacteria stop producing acid and the polysaccharide slime that holds the biofilm together, and they simply slide off the teeth. In the presence of sugar, bacteria thrive, produce acid and stick to the teeth. Bacterial numbers are significantly reduced in the presence of xylitol. Xylitol promotes an alkaline oral environment which is conducive to oral health.”

I have a xylitol candy after everything I eat/drink, a meal, snack(s) and have found no need for closys.
