What is really causing decay in your mouth?
Sugar is the leading cause of decay in patients. It is often hidden in our foods and drinks which can make it difficult to limit.
However cutting back on sugary snacks and beverages can make all the difference for your oral, and general health!
But even with a good diet, cavities are possible.
Microscopic bacteria can work its way into grooves and spaces in your teeth, which a toothbrush alone cannot remove.
This is where routine flossing comes in - removing all the stubborn bits of leftover dinner from between your teeth can prevent the bacteria from causing decay in those tight spaces.
Creating healthy diets and hygiene habits can positively impact your oral health!
Just ask our dentists at your next check up 😊
