Sealants
Almost all cavities occur between teeth and inside chewing surfaces grooves where the brush, toothpaste, mouthwash, chewing gum and saliva cannot reach.

Over 80% of cavities occur inside grooves and dentists seal grooves to prevent food being trapped and changed to acid while eating..

Chewing Barium Sulphate with the dental foam strip in the Supertooth Plaque Watch Kit before dental x-rays of back teeth, highlights where food is trapped in grooves and helps the dentist advise mineralisation therapy, sealants or fillings if necessary. Early diagnosis helps prevent cavities.

Dental fillings and sealants often last for years but sometimes break down at margins and may not be detected till a cavity suddenly appears.
Chewing a sealant food, tablet or confection before eating provides temporary protection while eating and helps remove any trapped food after eating.
Chewing a sealant food, tablet or confection after eating helps displace trapped food and seals grooves before the next meal or snack.

Chewing a fibre food like celery or the foam strip in the Supertooth Plaque Watch Kit after eating forces saliva around teeth and inside grooves to help remove food and neutralise acid and repair demineralised tooth during rest periods between meals or snacks. It also helps force sealant foods inside grooves.

Chewing the foam strip helps force saliva and sealants or dental agents inside grooves to help reduce acid attack where most cavities occur and the brush cannot reach.
