For kids (and adults) who don’t want to have future dental implants this maybe for you.

Candies were always thought to be bad on teeth, but according to this new experimental candy, BasicMints, it actually cuts down the risk of getting cavities! This particular candy has a compound named CaviStat that copies human saliva components that neutralizes acid that erodes tooth enamel. These soft mints were designed to be dissolved and chewed into biting surfaces of the teeth where most cavities appear.

The study showed that children who took four BasicMints candy daily and brushed their teeth had 61.7 percent fewer cavities that kids who just brushed their teeth.
