How to Prevent Tooth Cavities The Easy Way
2
Prevent Tooth Cavities
  • Before we can prevent tooth cavities, we first
    first know what they are. Cavities develops when
    a tooth decays or breaks down.
  • A cavity is a hole that can grow bigger and
    deeper over time. Cavities are also called dental
    caries.
  • If you have a cavity, it's important to go to a
    dentist and have it repaired as soon as possible.
    A cavity is permanent damage that a dentist has
    to repair with a filling.

  • To prevent tooth cavities, here are some
    important tips that you can use

4
Eat Fruits, Cheese and Vegetables and Avoid
Sugary Sweets
  • If you eat or drink often, especially foods or
    drinks containing sugar and starches, the
    repeated cycles of acid attacks cause the enamel
    to continue to lose minerals which can cause
    tooth decay.
  • It is important to avoid sugary sweets like
    candies and gums. Replace it with fruits, cheese
    and vegetables which will promotes healthy teeth
    and could help with cavity prevention.

5
Brush your Teeth
  • It is important to brush at least twice a day so
    that you can prevent tooth cavities. Make sure
    that you use Fluoride which is a mineral that can
    prevent tooth decay from progressing. It can even
    reverse or stop early tooth decay.
  • Take your time when you are brushing your teeth,
    make sure that you clean your teeth thoroughly.
    We sometimes make a habit of rushing when we are
    brushing our teeth. This prevents us from
    cleaning teeth properly. To avoid that, take at
    least two minutes to brush your teeth.

6
Floss your Teeth
  • It is crucial to floss your teeth to remove any
    debris and plaque from it. Since a toothbrush's
    bristles can't adequately clean between the teeth
    or under the gums.
  • That is where floss comes in. It is a tool
    specifically made to remove plaque from the tight
    spaces between the teeth and under the gums.
    According to the American Dental Association,
    flossing may also help prevent gum disease and
    cavities.

7
Drink Plenty of Water
  • As simple as that is, sometimes people forget to
    drink plenty of water. It is advisable to drink
    at least one glass of water for every hour that
    we are awake.
  • Drinking plenty of water aids in digestion as
    water is essential to digest your food and
    prevents constipation. It increases energy
    relieves fatigue. It also boosts our immune
    system. There are a lot of benefits to drinking
    plenty of water that are not only good for your
    teeth but also for your body.

8
Visit your Dentist Regularly
  • To fully prevent tooth cavities, it is important
    to visit your dentists at least twice a year.
    Your dentist can give you advice on how you can
    maintain good dental hygiene and help prevent any
    gum disease.
