Dental decay is the most prolific and second most costly community disease even though fluoridation has haved the problem .

Almost all cavities occur between teeth and inside pits and fissures where the brush, toothpaste, mouthwash, saliva and chewing gum cannot reach plaque or trapped food after every meal or snack. Plaque changes sugar to acid, which demineralises tooth.

Few cavities occur at Gum margins where the brush and saliva have good access. Food dye can colour plaque on teeth.
The Brush/floss'n'chew foam strip gum in the Supertooth kit helps apply food dye and clean all tooth surfaces, gum margins, between teeth and inside pits and fissures under chewing pressure that helps saliva displace food, neutralise acid and repair tooth.

Some 20% of cavities occur Between teeth where flossing skills are best to remove food or plaque

Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures where personal tooth care such as chewing sealant foods like cheese before eating and chewing cleansing fibre like celery after eating can best help prevent cavities
