How to prevent dental cavities - Naveed Yaseen - 09-24-2009 05:30 AM
Cavities are holes that form in the teeth, and can cause pain until they are filled by a dentist.
The US National Library of Medicine suggests how to help prevent cavities:
Today’s Health Tips
* Practice good oral hygiene, which means flossing each day, brushing at least twice daily and getting a professional teeth cleaning twice a year.
* If you want something sticky, sweet or chewy, eat it with other foods as part of a meal instead of alone. Brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water afterward.
* Minimise snacking, which increases acid production in the mouth.
* Avoid high-sugar drinks, chewing gum with sugar, or sucking on sugary candy.
* Consider getting a dental sealant applied to your molars to help prevent cavities.
* Use mouth wash and toothpaste with fluoride.
