Good
Habits to Help Prevent Cavities
- regular
visits with your dental professional on an appointment schedule
that he/she recommends based on your own needs. Regular visits
will ensure you have the benefits of preventive care and early
diagnosis, as well as, treatment for any dental problems. Guidance
about home dental care can also be provided to avoid future
problems
- diet plays
an important role. Minimize the frequency of sugary foods, thus
reducing the amount of acid produced. Select snacks that are
less cavity causing, such as fresh fruit, plain yogurt and raw
vegetables
- the use
of fluoride will help decrease the risk of cavity formation
- good plaque
control. Maintain a strict and regular home care routine to
minimize plaque growth
- it is
recommended that you consult your dental professional before
using any commercial products. You want to make a selection
based on the effectiveness of the product and your own personal
needs
