How sugar feeds these bacteria—but why cutting sugar alone isn’t always enough.
The surprising role of saliva (and why dry mouth is a cavity’s best friend).
Fluoride’s benefits—and its limitations (why it’s not a magic bullet).
Powerful foods & herbs that naturally fight cavities, including:
Licorice root (a bacteria killer)
Green tea (disrupts plaque)
Cloves & cinnamon (nature’s antiseptics)
Cheese & crunchy veggies (remineralize teeth)
