Revitalize Your Smile with Cavity Prevention

Posted .

Ideally, cavities can be prevented with healthy foods and drinks, proper oral hygiene, and the avoidance of unhealthy lifestyle habits. Because cavities arise due to holes in your tooth enamel, it is important to always make sure you clean your mouth whenever possible.

When assessing your dietary choices, always make sure that you’re eating foods that are safe for your smile as well as for your tummy. If food is extremely acidic or high in sugars and starches, it has the potential for causing dental erosion, which will lead to a cavity. To prevent cavities from forming, eliminate these products from your life or implement effective cleaning tools.

Because your teeth can become extra sensitive if improperly cared for, you should try cleaning them with dental tools in addition to a toothbrush, as toothbrushes can sometimes be overly abrasive. Try using mouthwash or even chewing sugarless gum, which has been proven to treat and prevent cavities. It is also a good idea to visit your dentist every 6 months for a professional cleaning to wash and rinse away areas that you may have missed with your traditional cleaning devices.
