Abstract

Preventive cariology has primarily focused on the protection of teeth with fluorides and on oral hygiene. Another important preventive approach, namely diet modification reducing the frequency of consumption of acid-producing carbohydrates has not yet gained enough attention. It can very well be implemented by making available a wide variety of non- or hypo-acidogenic snacks. This paper presents a model system, the Swiss Sympadent Association, initiated and currently used in Switzerland for developing, testing, labelling and promoting "tooth-friendly" foods that do not give rise to intraplaque acid production. Based on the success of the Association in Switzerland, an international extension of this model is well on its way.
