Remineralise, Strengthen, Prevent
Cavity Protection
Cavities form when acid strips minerals from enamel faster than your body can replace them. Our cavity protection range tips the balance back, with hydroxyapatite to remineralise, xylitol to starve decay-causing bacteria, and fluoride options for reinforced acid resistance.
Understanding How Cavities Form, And How to Stop Them
Every time you eat, bacteria produce acids that draw calcium and phosphate out of your enamel. Normally, saliva redeposits these minerals. But when acid attacks happen too frequently, the enamel develops white spot lesions, the earliest stage of a cavity. At this point, the process can still be reversed.
Micro-hydroxyapatite deposits the exact minerals enamel has lost. Fluoride creates a more acid-resistant surface layer. Xylitol starves S. mutans bacteria so they produce less acid. And our xylitol chewing gum is particularly useful after meals, when acid levels peak and brushing is not practical.
Benefits
-
Between-Meal Protection
Our xylitol chewing gum stimulates saliva and starves bacteria in the 20-30 minutes after eating, when acid levels peak.
-
Remineralises Enamel
Micro-hydroxyapatite fills micro-lesions and deposits the exact minerals your enamel needs to repair early-stage damage.
-
Starves Decay Bacteria
Xylitol and erythritol cannot be metabolised by S.mutans, the primary cavity-causing bacterium. Less acid production, less enamel damage.
-
Fluoride or Fluoride-Free
Both approaches available. Fluoride adds
acid-resistance. Fluoride-free relies on HAp + xylitol. Choose what suits your needs.
Our Cavity Protection Collection
Prevention Is Always Better Than Treatment
Every brushing session tips the balance between demineralisation and repair. Our cavity protection range ensures each brush, each floss, and each chew works in your favour, remineralising, strengthening,
and starving the bacteria that cause decay.

Make Chewing Gum Part Of Your Routine
FAQs
Can early cavities be reversed?
Yes. Before a cavity breaks through the enamel into the dentine, the process of demineralisation can be reversed through
consistent remineralising care. Micro hydroxyapatite deposits the exact minerals enamel has lost, while fluoride creates a more acid-resistant surface. Once a cavity breaks through into the dentine, it requires dental treatment.
Does xylitol really prevent cavities?
Yes. S. mutans, the primary cavity-causing
bacterium, absorbs xylitol but cannot metabolise it. This disrupts its energy production and reduces acid output. Studies show regular xylitol use can reduce cavity rates by 30-85%. You will find xylitol in our jar toothpastes, fluoride toothpaste, and chewing gum.
How important is flossing for cavity prevention?
Critical. Around 35% of the tooth surface sits between teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach. These interdental areas are
where cavities most commonly develop in adults. Our Fluoride Floss with Activated Charcoal delivers fluoride directly to these vulnerable surfaces.
Can chewing gum help prevent cavities?
Yes, when it contains xylitol. Chewing after
meals stimulates saliva (your mouth's primary defence) and xylitol starves decay bacteria. Our Peppermint Chewing Gum is particularly useful in the 20-30 minutes after eating, when acid levels are highest.
What is the best routine to prevent cavities?
Brush twice daily with a remineralising
toothpaste (our HAp range), floss daily (our Fluoride Charcoal Floss for extra protection), chew xylitol gum after meals, and limit sugary snacks between meals. See your dentist regularly for early detection.
