Most people think cavities come from eating too much sugar. 🦷
That’s only part of the story — and not knowing the real cause is exactly why so many people keep getting them.
Every time you eat — bread, fruit, crackers, a sip of juice — bacteria in your mouth feast on the carbohydrates and produce acid. That acid sits against your enamel for up to 20 minutes after every bite or sip.
Do that all day, and your teeth are under constant attack.
The scary part? Early decay has zero symptoms. No pain, no sensitivity — nothing. By the time you feel it, it’s already a much bigger problem.
The good news: catching it early means a simple fix. Waiting means a costly one.
Here’s what actually protects your smile every day:
✅ Brush twice with fluoride toothpaste
✅ Floss once — plaque hides where brushes can’t reach
✅ Limit snacking — fewer acid attacks per day
✅ Drink water — rinses acid and boosts saliva
✅ See us every 6 months before small becomes big
