A retired Australian dentist has created a sugarless chocolate that fights cavities, according to a news story in the Herald Sun.
The candy, dubbed Sweet William, prevents food from getting trapped between teeth and protects teeth from food acids buildup, according to the story.
"Every food you eat gets caught between teeth and in the grooves," said Maurice White, B.D.Sc., the inventor, noting that 95% of food is trapped between teeth, but 80% of cavities occur in the teeth's grooves.
The chocolate acts as a seal and is meant to be eaten before and after meals, according to the story.
