BasicBites® are sugar-free soft chews that look and taste like a candy, but contain science-backed oral microbiome technology designed to support enamel health and help maintain a healthy oral environment. Each chew is only 15 calories and is easy to enjoy as part of a daily oral care routine.

BasicBites are designed to coat the teeth with a targeted blend of tooth-supporting nutrients that work with your mouth's natural protective processes. They help neutralize harmful sugar acids and support a balanced oral environment that favors enamel strength.

BasicBites are recommended for children ages six and up, teens, and adults. They are especially helpful for those looking for extra daily oral care support beyond traditional oral hygiene products, including individuals with higher sugar diets or dry mouth.

Age six is when most children can safely handle soft chews with parental supervision. Our formulation delivers 400 mg of calcium daily (from two chews) designed for targeted on-tooth support. As an added benefit, this amount also provides additional dietary calcium considered appropriate for ages six and up. The oral health benefits work for all teeth - both baby teeth and permanent teeth. As with all chewable foods, parental supervision is recommended.

For adults and children six years of age and older, take one BasicBites soft chew twice daily, after morning brushing and again after brushing at bedtime. Chew to coat tooth surfaces or allow the chew to slowly melt in the mouth. Always supervise children while eating.
