FAQ
General
Dental Nutrition means oral care in an edible form. It is the science of using nutrients to support teeth, gums, and oral microbiome health. Our products are designed to nourish and protect the mouth, beyond just brushing and flossing.
Teeth and gums are living tissues that need nutrients to stay strong, resist decay, and recover from everyday damage. Targeted nutrition helps maintain enamel strength, gum health, and overall oral balance.
Brushing works for only 1-2 minutes, leaving the mouth unprotected for the rest of the day. Dental Nutrition helps maintain a stable, healthy oral environment for the remaining 23 hours and 58 minutes.
Hetafu is the world's first Dental Nutrition approach, offering edible oral care that nourishes teeth, gums, and the oral microbiome. Unlike regular oral care products that kill both good and bad bacteria, Hetafu selectively reduces harmful microbes within 1 minute while supporting beneficial ones, providing longer-lasting protection beyond brushing.
No, it doesn't replace them. Dental Nutrition works alongside brushing and flossing to provide all-day protection, microbiome balance, and targeted oral support that regular cleaning cannot offer.
When harmful bacteria multiply, they create acids and toxins that cause cavities, swollen gums, bad breath, and oral imbalance. Over time, this disrupts the microbiome and makes the mouth more prone to infections and discomfort.
Vitamins and minerals support overall health, but don't act locally inside the mouth, and their benefits are reduced due to bioavailability after digestion. Dental Nutrition delivers direct, targeted support to the oral microbiome, gums, and teeth where it's needed most.
All the products are made with a blend of probiotics and essential oils that work together through a bacteriostatic (preventing the growth of harmful bacteria) and bactericidal (killing bad bacteria) mechanism. This dual action makes Hetafu the first-of-its-kind edible oral care system in the world.
