First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether spraying a calcium-based solution on children's teeth could reduce cavity-causing bacteria. Fifteen toddlers with early tooth decay used either a placebo, a calcium spray, or a calcium-plus-fluoride spray for two months. Researchers measured changes in saliva calcium, plaque bacteria, and the size of decayed areas.
