Supertooth and Good Food Friends helps protect teeth from acid forming carbohydrates like sugar rich confection, cakes and fun foods left trapped like between teeth where brushing cannot reach.

Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces where saliva and fluoride toothpaste have no access to neutralise acid and remineralise demineralised tooth like on other easy to reach surfaces.

Chewing a carbohydrate free food like nuts, cheese or soy biscuits, just before eating sugar rich foods helps prevent tooth decay by blocking the sugar fun food being trapped and changed to acid demineralisation of tooth.

Chewing fibre like celery after eating helps force saliva into trapped food to dilute sugars, neutralise acid and remineralise tooth particularly where brushing cannot reach between teeth and inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces.
