Cavity Prevention

In most cases, cavities are due to a diet high in sugary foods and a lack of brushing. Thus, limiting sugar intake and brushing regularly can help prevent tooth decay. It’s also important to receive a professional cleaning twice a year.

Tips for cavity prevention:

• Limit the frequency of meals and snacks.
• Encourage brushing, flossing and rinsing.
• Watch what your child drinks.
• Avoid sticky foods.
• Make treats a part of meals.
• Choose nutritious snacks.
• See your pediatric dentist every 6 months.
