  1. Simple Steps to Preventing Cavities

  2. Tooth Cavities • Tooth cavities are among the most common dental problems that anyone could experience in their lifetime. • A cavity occurs when plaque remains unremoved from the tooth. This plaque produces acid which feeds off the tooth enamel - the outermost layer of the tooth.

  3. Here are simple steps to preventing cavities:

  4. Brush and Floss Regularly • Brushing should be accompanied by flossing as it alone won’t be able to cover all areas of the tooth. Brushing may be able to clean tooth surfaces visible to the eye. But it won’t be able to reach areas between the teeth. • Flossing would be able to. If you are always on the go, make sure to carry a portable brush set with you. In the same vein, store dental floss on areas you frequent.

  5. Change Brush Regularly • Frayed, old toothbrushes may no longer be able to clean as effectively. Make sure to change your brush every three months. Look into brushes specially designed to do a harder job at cleaning teeth. • On the other hand, if brushing tires you quickly, consider getting a power toothbrush. This way, you won’t have to rely on your physical energy to brush your teeth.

  6. Lessen Intake of Sugary Food • For those with a sweet tooth, you may want to slowly exchange sugary treats for more teeth-friendly options. • Fruits such as bananas and apples are good snack alternatives. Practice reaching out to these options when you start to feel the craving.

  7. Chew Sugarless Gum • Chewing sugarless gum is one way you can encourage saliva flow in your mouth. It also helps remove any sticky sugar sitting on the surface of your teeth.

  8. Drink Water more Often • Water is the best drink to take to preventing cavities. It helps get rid of food residue on your teeth, washing them down the way mouthrinse does. • It also is the most cost-effective way to protect teeth. Like chewing sugarless gum, it also helps boost saliva flow.

  9. Check these Out! • Preventing cavities does not have to be complex. These simple steps above would help a lot in keeping your teeth and mouth healthy. • Check Out These Simple Steps to Preventing Cavities.
