A member asked:
Is theobromine (from chocolate) good for tooth decay prevention?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It's good: Recent research shows that chocolate is not as bad for your teeth as once believed as long as it doesn't have caramel or nougat in it, which increases sticking to the teeth.

It is good: Theobromine has been found to be effective in the prevention of tooth decay, by acting against those micro-organisms which cause oral cavities.
