Since nobody has answered yet, I'll toss in my 2 cents.
I've never heard of Licorice helping to fight cavities, just to help digestion and soothe the stomach. However, if it does help to fight cavities, you would want to get the straight herb, not some licorice candy... unless the company that makes it is very careful to not use high heat processes or chemicals that may damage the nutritional integrity of the herb. Too many candy companies couldn't make a "beneficial candy" from an herb because most candy requires high heat or chemicals to process the candy itself that the herbs would lose part of their impact when processed like that.
