Welcome!

Supertooth and the Good food Friends is a voluntary community organization to help prevent tooth decay and provides an oportunity fo all stake holders to unite in this project to prevent dental disease.

All tooth decay occurs where food is left on teeth and any carbohdrate like sugar is changed to acid demineralisation by plaque bacteria and saliva doesnt have access to neutralise acid and remineralise demineralised tooth.

Even though 95% of trapped food is packed between teeth under chewing pressure displacing previously trapped food as in the annimation, over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures in grooves on chewing surfaces where the brush cannot reach and fluoride and saliva have no access to neutralise acid and remineralise tooth.

Some foods are hard to displace and chewing carbohydrate free chocolate like Sweet William No Added Sugar before eating, can help prevent meals and snacks being trapped and even remove trapped meals or snacks after eating and help saliva neutralise acid and remineralise demineralised tooth when formulated to do so.


While it is important to avoid eating food containing carbohydrate like sugar between meals to reduce the frequency of acid demineralisation, it is also important to help saliva neutralise acid and remineralise demineralised tooth as well as provide better access for fluoride toothpaste before brushing as seen With the glass model of a fissure experiment.
