Dr. Wenyuan Shi of UCLA didn't feel like American dentistry was hitting the mark in the battle against tooth decay. Dr. Shi chose to pursue the germs that cause decay and took a look historically at some Chinese herbs known to help.
After 50,000 trials in the lab with over 2,000 different herbs, Dr. Shi concluded that the powder extracted from licorice root, of all things, would fight bacteria the best.
So why lollipops? Dr. Shi thinks this breakthrough will have the most potential to help the underprivileged, children especially, who lack access to dental care and may not even know why they should care for their teeth.
The lollipops are tasty, mobile, and potent so they will be easy to take to those who need them most and easy to convince people to try them
These cavity fighting lollipops will help everyone. If you or a patient uses them twice a day for 10 days out of every three months, you will both notice an improvement. Of course these lollipops aren't enough on their own. They're to be used with your suggested regimen of dental care to help your patients eliminate or at least decrease tooth decay.

Fighting cavities with candy would be a sweet right click.
