Cavity Fighting Candy - Trick or Treat?
Oral biologists formulated a mint that fights cavities with an ingredient called Cavistat. Cavistat contains two main components that protect the teeth.

Cavistat also introduces other chemical compounds that protect against the dissolving of the minerals of the teeth. See the video and read more. Happy Halloween!Source: American Institute of Physics
