How They Work
A Microbiome-Driven Breakthrough
BasicBites supercharge your mouth's natural defenses by working with the oral microbiome — not fighting against it.
Developed at a leading U.S. dental school and backed by decades of research, this Oral Care 3.0 approach focuses on optimizing your oral environment, rather than relying on decades-old technology.
- Prebiotic + postbiotic technology: Arginine, a nutrient naturally found in the mouth, nourishes beneficial bacteria already on tooth surfaces (prebiotic). These good bacteria produce buffers that help neutralize plaque acids after eating (postbiotic).
- Built-in buffering support: Bicarbonate + carbonate provide additional buffering and help jumpstart arginine's pH-balancing activity.
- Enamel strength (remineralization): Calcium supports enamel strength when pH conditions are favorable.
- Targeted tooth contact: Unlike brushing, soft chews adhere to tooth surfaces for extended contact.
- Simple daily routine: Sugar-free, just 15 calories, used twice daily after morning and nighttime brushing.
Upgrade your oral care routine today. Boost your oral environment with BasicBites — a simple, mouthwatering, microbiome-inspired addition to brushing.
Daily Dry Mouth Support
When saliva can't protect you—BasicBites steps in.
Extra protection for dry mouth
- Chronic dry mouth can leave your enamel vulnerable. Without adequate saliva, your mouth becomes more acidic, weakening enamel and creating conditions where harmful bacteria thrive.
- Dry mouth has many causes: hundreds of common medications, Sjögren's and other autoimmune conditions, cancer treatments, mouth breathing, CPAP use, cannabis, and natural aging all can reduce saliva flow.
- BasicBites replace what saliva provides. Our soft chews coat teeth with key protective nutrients found in healthy saliva—arginine, bicarbonate, carbonate, and calcium—giving your enamel the support it needs when natural defenses are low.
- Science-backed protection: Arginine feeds beneficial pH-raising bacteria that naturally suppress acid-producing microbes. Bicarbonate and carbonate provide extra buffering. Calcium helps support enamel strength. Together, they recreate saliva's protective environment.
- Immediate and lasting benefits. Use as a soft chew or let melt slowly for extended coating—each one supercharges your oral microbiome to work for you. Two chews a day, after morning and evening brushing.

The Proactive Parent
Tooth decay is still the most common disease in children and adults—it's time for a new approach to boost your kids' enamel health.
For Parents & Kids
- Delicious and sugar-free—kids actually ask for them (just 15 calories each), and you can say yes knowing they're strengthening teeth instead of harming them.
- A great brushing motivator that turns oral care into a positive routine instead of a battle.
- Built on nature's blueprint: Arginine nourishes beneficial bacteria already on tooth surfaces. These good bacteria help neutralize plaque acids and support a healthier oral environment.
- Works in multiple ways: bicarbonate and carbonate provide additional buffering; calcium supports enamel strength when pH conditions are favorable.
- Unlike brushing, soft chews adhere to tooth surfaces for extended contact—delivering vital tooth-protecting nutrients into molar grooves and spots bristles can't reach.
- Works for the whole family: parents benefit from the same enamel support and microbiome balance (one product, everyone's teeth supported).
- Two chews a day, after morning and evening brushing.
- Suitable for kids 6+ who can safely chew or let it dissolve under supervision.
Give your family the oral care advantage they deserve—protection that goes beyond the brush.
