New Mouthwash Prevents Cavities

Wenyuan Shi, a researcher at the UCLA School of Dentistry, has developed an amazing mouthwash.

It appears to prevent tooth decay.

We all know that bacteria in the mouth, in combination with sugar from foods, decalcify and damage the tooth surface.  This allows bacteria to enter and make the decay larger.

Shi developed an antimicrobial technology called STAMP which he used to make C16G2 – the new mouthwash.

In the preliminary study of 12 subjects, rinsing just one time with the mouthwash, eliminated the decay causing bacteria for FOUR FULL DAYS!!

More extensive trials will begin in March 2012 leading to the first anti-caries drug in 60 years!
