Tooth Candy for Happy, Healthy Smiles

EvoraKids, Oral Care Probiotics for Children 3 to 10 years old

Kids can be a tough crowd, especially when it comes to ensuring that when they brush their teeth, they are actually doing it properly and removing as much plaque as possible. Even children who spend the ideal 3 minutes brushing could be brushing only one side of the teeth, leaving the backsides of teeth full of plaque, and putting them at risk for cavities and even more serious illnesses, like periodontal disease.

It is not uncommon for children who eat diets high in sugar and other tooth-damaging carbohydrates, like sodas, breads and candy to have cavities so deep that the teeth must be removed.

Many parents wonder why one of their children may be more prone to cavities than the rest, especially when they all seem to have the same eating and tooth brushing habits.

When it comes to cavities, it all boils down to bacteria. Dental plaque is full of bacteria – some of that bacteria is helpful, some harmful, and some is completely innocuous. If the bacteria in your child’s plaque is out of balance, the harmful bacteria will take over, crowding out the good bacteria. This harmful bacteria, called Streptococcus mutans, releases acid which erodes tooth enamel. If the erosion goes deep enough, it causes a cavity.

This explains why different children in the same family with the same eating and brushing habits can have different levels of oral health – even a slight imbalance in oral bacteria can cause more tooth decay.

EvoraKids Oral Care Probiotics can reach into the cracks and deep into the crevices of teeth, populating the mouth with beneficial bacteria. Best of all, the wild very cherry berry flavor of EvoraKids chews makes kids ask mom for more “tooth candy” each time they brush!
