    General Objective: To determine the effect of chewing gum with xylitol on salivary pH levels in children aged 6 to 12 years at the María Auxiliadora Private Institution. Methodology: This was a prospective, observational, and descriptive study with a longitudinal design. The sample consisted of 100 students, to whom a validated instrument based on expert judgment, consisting of a technical sheet, was applied. Results: After chewing gum with xylitol, the salivary pH change was greater within the first 10 minutes with xylitol (6.9) compared to without xylitol (5.7), and in comparison to the control group (5.4). After 20 minutes, the pH change was higher with xylitol (7.1) than without xylitol (6.0), and in comparison to the control group (5.4). After 30 minutes, the pH change was higher with xylitol (7.3) than without xylitol (6.3), and in comparison to the control group (5.4). The significance value was 0.00, which is less than 0.05, thus rejecting the null hypothesis and accepting the alternative hypothesis, which states that chewing gum with xylitol increases salivary pH. Conclusion: A significant change in salivary pH values was observed after chewing gum with xylitol, proportional to the time elapsed.
