One of the most common misconceptions on oral health is that sugar is the main cause of cavities. But, did you know that any kind of food can destroy teeth -- even healthy food like fruits and vegetables -- because they contain sugar acids?
Which do you think causes cavities -- the vegetables or the cheesecake? |

Sadly, despite the many advertisements and continuing education on the importance of good oral care habits to prevent tooth decay, according to the World Health Organization, nearly 100% of adults are still affected with the condition worldwide! Here in the Philippines, the Department of Health reports that 9 out of 10 Filipinos suffer from cavities, regardless of age or socio-economic background.
What probably aggravates the issue more is that Filipinos' daily diet primarily contains starch like everyday food staples such as rice, fruits, and even vegetables, which converts into acids that weaken the teeth and eventually cause cavities.
To address this, Colgate introduces a new standard of care that makes a cavity-free future possible. The new Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection plus Sugar Acid Neutralizer toothpaste is the the first and only anti-cavity toothpaste that goes beyond the protection of fluoride by directly fighting sugar acids in plaque -- the number one cause of cavities.
