The moment that changed everything happened during a routine checkup. A 6-year-old named Luna needed her third filling in just one year. As I prepped the drill, her mom's voice cracked: "Doctor, I don't understand. We brush morning and night with fluoride toothpaste. We cut back on snacks and juice. I even bought those expensive kids' vitamins. What else can I possibly do?

I watched Luna grip the chair arms, and something inside me snapped. Her mom was doing everything "right" according to everything we tell parents.

That's when it hit me: We're fighting a chemical war with mechanical tools.

If a child eating simple foods with diligent brushing habits still gets cavities, what chance do busy adults have? Between our coffee, wine, snacks, and stress-filled days, our mouths are under constant acid attack. I realized we needed to stop treating symptoms and start preventing the real cause — the relentless acid damage happening between brushing sessions.

After searching the market, I discovered something shocking: Not a single spray existed that protects against cavities on all fronts — neutralizing pH, restoring lost minerals, AND targeting harmful bacteria. So I created CariSpray: precision oral protection that works effortlessly in real life.

Because prevention shouldn't be harder than the problem. And protecting your teeth shouldn't mean giving up the things you love. Today, Luna enjoys her after-school snacks and weekend juice boxes while her mom enjoys skipping those stressful dental visits.
