While sugary foods and drinks can contribute to cavities, they’re not the whole story.
Cavities develop when bacteria in your mouth feed on carbohydrates and produce acids that weaken tooth enamel. That means factors like poor brushing and flossing habits, frequent snacking, dry mouth, and even genetics can play a role.
Sugar increases your risk, but it’s not the only culprit.
Prevention: Regular brushing, flossing, routine dental visits, drinking water between foods, and an overall balanced diet can help keep cavities at bay!
Maintaining healthy habits matters more than avoiding a single food. Although minimizing sugary snacks and drinks does help a ton!!! ☑️
Bonus tip: Add a brushing session into your lunchtime routine!
