Tooth-friendly

The tooth-friendly label distinguishes products which are non-cariogenic and non-erosive, i.e. safe for teeth.[1] To replace sugar, toothfriendly products often contain sweeteners (polyols, intense sweeteners) that are not fermented by the microflora of the dental plaque. Products that are certified as toothfriendly also do not contain excessive amounts of food acids.
