Cavities are unpleasant and can be a traumatic
experience for those who are unfortunate enough
to develop them. Tooth decay and cavities are
among the most common health issues
worldwide. Children should be taught about
cavity prevention from an early age. To avoid
cavities, we all know to brush our teeth twice a
day and floss once a day, according to our
dentist in Barrie.

Clean Your Teeth Properly
The best way to combat harmful bacteria in your
mouth is to not allow it to linger. Brush your
teeth on a regular basis, especially after meals
and right before bed. Brush your teeth with a
soft-bristled toothbrush at a 45-degree angle,
moving it in a gentle back and forth motion.
5
Understand Your Risk Level
Some people are predisposed to cavities more than
others. Diet, genetics, and lifestyle all play a
role in your chances of developing cavities. A
dentist near you will need to examine your teeth
and gums to determine your risk level. If you
are more prone to cavities, you may need to see
your dentist more frequently for checkups and
cleanings.

Make Sure You Floss
Regardless of how well you brush, flossing is
required to reach the space between your teeth.
Flossing is a quick and easy way to remove any
bacteria that has become lodged between your
teeth. Floss between meals and before going to
bed.

Decrease Your Sugar Intake
Hot coffee is often just what we need to get our
day started, but make sure it doesn't have too
much sugar. Bacteria in your mouth feed on
sugars, and when we eat too much of it, we
create an ideal environment for them to eat away
at our tooth enamel and cause cavities.
8
Stop Smoking
Smoking not only causes lung cancer and other
medical conditions, but it also causes gum
disease, oral cancer, and tooth loss. If you
smoke, quitting is the best thing you can do for
your mouth and overall health.
