Food is left trapped between teeth and inside deep pits and fissures in chewing surfaces where almost all cavities occur and the brush cannot reach inside a glass model of a groove on chewing surfaces of teeth.
Trapped food prevents access of saliva to neutralise acid and repair demineralised tooth after eating.
Also food prevents access of fluoride toothpaste to toughen demineralised tooth while brushing.
Chewing Barium Sulphate before dental x-rays shows the white paste trapped inside grooves below.

Simulated chewing traps JELLY CONFECTION red dye inside glass model. Chewing also traps other foods. Brushing with toothpaste cannot remove red dye or deliver fluoride toothpaste inside deep pits and fissures in groove. Chewing toothpaste on a foam strip before brushing, forces fluoride inside grooves displacing red jelly confection. Floss and chew toothpaste on a foam strip before brushing to help fluoride access between teeth and inside grooves.
