Cavities don’t just happen because of candy—bacteria in the mouth feed on sugars and produce acid that wears down the enamel. If left untreated, cavities can cause pain, infection, and even affect overall health.
✨ The good news? Cavities can be prevented!
✅ Start early—Your child’s first dental visit should be by age 1 or when their first tooth appears!
✅ Routine checkups—Every 6 months, your dentist can check for early signs of decay, apply fluoride, and offer protection like sealants.
✅ Strong habits—Brushing twice a day, flossing, and limiting sugary snacks can help stop cavities before they start!
By age 4, more than 1 in every 4 children will have a cavity—but your child doesn’t have to be one of them! Schedule their checkup today and keep their smile strong.
