...prevent tooth decay. Rochester Dentists Eriberto Cueto and Michael Buonocore recently cut decay by 86% among 269 young patients by applying a thin plastic coating twice yearly to tooth surfaces. In upstate New York, an NIDR researcher cut decay by 80% among 500 children who wore mouthpieces treated with sodium fluoride for six min utes of each school day for two years. By contrast, mass fluoridation of water reduces decay by about 65%. Using a self-administered prophylactic paste, Annapolis midshipmen were able to cut their incidence of cavities by 93%. The NIDR is also supporting a study...

It was designed by scientists to replenish the chemicals that are burned up by the human body during strenuous exercise...
