How can I help prevent cavities?
-Brush your teeth at least twice daily, floss and mouthwash daily to remove plaque between teeth and below the gum line.
-Undergo regular dental examinations. Preventive care helps prevent the occurrence
problems and minor problems from becoming major ones.
-Eat a balanced diet restricted in starchy or sugary foods.
When you eat these foods, try it with a meal rather than between meals to minimize the number of times that your teeth are exposed to
acid-producing bacteria.-Use dental products which contain fluoride, including toothpaste.
-Make sure your children’s drinking water contains adequate levels of fluoride.
The massive extent necessary for fluoride for teeth is salt, which should not be used in areas where natural water brings large amounts of fluoride and if salt is used without fluoride. Consult your local health authority to determine what kind of salt should be consumed.
