Tooth decay is our most common disease affecting 11 million Australians each year.

Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces where food is trapped while eating and brushing cannot reach and acid demineralisation exceeds saliva and fluoride remineralisation.

Chewing celery after eating forces saliva inside pits and fissures to dilute trapped sugars, neutralise acid and help remineralisation of tooth surfaces to help exceed demineralisation.
