General Health Information

The crevices in our teeth are where these harmful bacteria tend to
settle. By themselves, there is little these bacteria can do to cause
cavities. But, when food particles also settle in these crevices, the
bacteria populations grow as they feed on them. And yes, bacteria love
sugar because they are ready sources of high energy but they will feed
on any organic particles in your mouth. This eventually can promote common dental problems.

When feeding, the bacteria produce an acid by-product that will damage
and ultimately destroy the very enamel that is supposed to protect your
teeth. Once this layer of enamel has been breeched, no amount of dental health products
can stop the formation of a cavity. However, practicing good oral
hygiene will help control the bacteria population and thus slow the
development of a cavity.

Therefore, it is bacteria and not sugar that is the true source of
cavities and other oral health problems like advanced periodontal
disease. And it is saliva, complemented with alcohol-free dental health products, that will help you best prevent those common dental health problems that can cause us all so much grief and pain!
