Safeguard Your Smile: How to Prevent Tooth Decay

Tooth decay is a common problem worldwide, with the World Health Organization reporting that 60-90% of children and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can protect your teeth from tooth decay. At our dental practice, we provide comprehensive preventive care for patients of all ages to help maintain optimal oral health.

The Causes and Importance of Dental Prevention

Tooth cavities form when plaque buildup isn't removed from around the teeth and gums. You may also be at greater risk for tooth decay if your diet is high in sugary sweets, acidic foods, or beverages, or if you experience dry mouth, teeth grinding, receding gums, or deeply grooved dental enamel. As experienced dental professionals, we emphasize the importance of preventing tooth decay through regular checkups and professional cleanings. Early detection and treatment can help prevent further damage to your oral health and overall well-being.
