Xylitol gum chewed three time a day-gets saliva flowing, chemically helps calcium stay inside of enamel, and kills Streptococcus mutans -the germ that seems to be causing most cavities.
To purchase Xylitol gum, Google "Xylitol gum" and"Spry" in the search line. I like the taste of the Spry company's Xylitol gum . This is one site that comes up:

The normal dose is about 6 gms/day for cavity protection ( about 2 pieces chewed 3 to 4 times each day)
Here is a link to a great explanation of how Xylitol works to prevent decay:
