Understanding Cavities: Prevention and Treatment

What Causes Cavities?

Cavities form when bacteria in the mouth break down sugars and produce acid, which weakens tooth enamel. Poor oral hygiene, frequent snacking, and sugary drinks increase the risk.

How to Prevent Cavities

• Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
• Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.
• Limit sugary snacks and drinks.
• Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings.
