How to avoid tooth cavity

Cavities and tooth decay are among the world's most common health problems.

They're especially common in children, teenagers and older adults.

Cavities are permanently damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes.

Prevention

Good oral and dental hygiene can help you avoid cavities and tooth decay.

We advise to:

  •  Brush with fluoride toothpaste
  •  Brush your teeth twice a day
  •  Rinse your mouth
  •  Visit your dentist regularly
  •  Drink some tap water
  •  Avoid frequent snacking
  •  Eat tooth-healthy foods
  •  Chew sugar-free chewing gum to remove food debris;
  •  Due to their health condition, some people are much more prone to caries than others, therefore, in such clinical cases, antibacterial treatment is necessary (selected by a doctor).
