drk choc is healthy for your heart not your teeth!

[Dr. M]

Cocoa has been found to have certain chemicals that reduce the activity of the bacteria that cause tooth decay. But that's a plain cocoa powder made from grinding whole cocoa beans, not a candy bar with added sugars! It would be nice if there were a chocolate bar that could fight tooth decay, but so far none have been developed. The best way to fight decay is still to limit the amount of sticky sweets and starchy snacks that stick in your teeth (like chips), and to floss regularly and brush your teeth at least twice a day.
