Chewing Chewing displaces previously trapped food between teeth and inside deep pits and fissures in grooves on chewing surfaces while eating every meal or snack.
Trapped food is the source of carbohydrate that is changed to acid causing cavities.
Almost all cavities occur between teeth and inside grooves on chewing surfaces where Recaldent, saliva, mouth wash, brushing and fluoride have poor or no access as seen in the glass model experiments.
Though most food is trapped between teeth, over 80% of cavities occur inside grooves where the brush, and saliva, fluoride toothpaste, etc. have no access. Supertooth’s glass model of a fissure in a back tooth, replicates how food is trapped under chewing pressure.
Also how brushing cannot reach and how chewing fibre like celery after eating, forces saliva between teeth and inside grooves to neutralise acid and repair demineralised tooth.
Make a glass model and put your own version on YouTube, like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRca_whVI4Y&layer_token=f816c25d718e437b
Chewing products like nuts or cheese before eating, helps block food being trapped while eating.
