Most dental damage happens quietly, between appointments.
Sugar doesn't just cause cavities in the moment. Every time you eat or drink something sweet, bacteria in your mouth produce acids that attack your enamel for up to 20 minutes afterward.
Sipping sugary drinks throughout the day, even juice or sports drinks, keeps that acid cycle going almost constantly. Over time, that steady exposure weakens enamel and creates the conditions where decay can take hold.
The good news is that regular professional cleanings in Medford, OR help remove buildup before it turns into a bigger problem. Your exam gives Dr. Prins a chance to spot early changes and talk through simple habits that protect your teeth.
