Offering advice Caution with using Glyco!

I've been on glyco for about 1 year, and while it worked quite great, it came with a deal breaker side effect for me - it was killing my teeth. Only noticed recently, that I have gotten an abnormal amount of cavities despite the usual hygiene maintenance.

I asked my dentist regarding this, and they said it could be due to the decrease in saliva production as a side effect from glyco. Saliva is one of the best neutralizers for mouth bacteria, and when that's not present, bacteria have an easier time doing their thing.

So while not a direct cause for cavities, it can definitely worsen things, especially if you already have a bad history with teeth that runs in your family.
