Did you know that cavities are one of the most often found oral health disorders in children? Not only can children get cavities, but cavities will continue to be a constant threat to your pearly whites for the rest of your life. Defending your teeth begins with ensuring that cavities cannot be allowed to manifest.
Focus your oral health care on cavity prevention. Save your smile with cavity prevention and these important facts:
– Make sure to schedule at least 2 professional cleanings with your dentist every year.
– Use cleaning treatments that have been recommended or approved by your dentist, or those that feature the ADA Seal of Acceptance.
– Focus on flossing between your teeth to remove any plaque buildup or food residue that brushing alone cannot reach.
– Be sure to brush your teeth at least twice every day.
– Avoid foods and snacks that can crack your teeth, such as hard candies, or products that stick around your mouth for too long, such as sticky and gummy sweets.
– Do not consume sugary foods and drinks that can be converted into harmful acids that cause dental erosion.
