1. MUST-KNOW TIPS
TO KEEP CAVITIES

3. When there is a significant amount of
decay on teeth, a cavity can occur.

4. The decay is caused by acids and
sugars that linger on the teeth from
not brushing and maintaining quality
oral healthcare.

5. Fortunately, there are some ways that
you can keep cavities away.

6. ORAL HEALTH

7. The easiest way to keep cavities
away is to brush your teeth and
maintain quality oral hygiene.

8. Brush your teeth at least twice a
day. And floss after each meal
when possible.You need to brush
every part of your teeth instead of
just a small area.

9. Try to brush firmly. But don't brush
hard enough to make your gums
bleed or to make your mouth feel
sore.

10. A fluoride mouthwash is often the
best product to use when rinsing
the mouth.
You also need to use a toothpaste
with fluoride.

11. Don't overbrush your teeth as
products can begin to eat away at
the enamel.

12. VISIT YOUR
DENTIST

13. Make an appointment with your
dentist at least once every 6 months
for an examination.

14. Your dentist can look at the teeth to
see if there are any cavities or areas
that bear watching for future cavity
development.

15. If there are cavities, then the dentist
can fill them before the tooth
breaks.Your dentist can suggest
items that are good to use for
brushing …

16. … rinsing and flossing as well as the
proper tools that you want to keep
at home for caring for your teeth.

17. CHOOSE THE
RIGHT FOODS

18. Most junk foods have high
amounts of sugar in them whether
it's from carbohydrates or pure
sugar.
Avoid these foods to keep as much
sugar away from the mouth as
possible.

19. You should also avoid drinking
sodas and beverages that have a
high sugar content.

20. If you do eat foods that have a lot
of sugar in them, even fresh fruits,
brush your teeth as soon as
possible so that the sugar doesn't
linger.

21. Try to choose candies and sweets
that don't stay in the mouth for a
long time.

22. Lollipops and other candies that
you suck on tend to deliver sugar
for a long time while you eat the
candy compared to treats that you
can eat in a few minutes.

23. Eat more foods with dairy as
well as dark green vegetables.
Salmon and foods with high
amounts of protein are also
good for the teeth and can help
to prevent cavities.

24. EAT
CRUNCHY
FOODS

25. Foods such as carrots, celery
and other items that are
crunchy have high amounts of
vitamins.

26. The fiber released in crunchy
foods is an abrasive that helps to
keep teeth clean.

27. Chewing foods encourages saliva
in the mouth to develop, which
also helps to keep teeth clean.

28. Another option is to chew sugar-
free gum. It is made with xylitol.
A product that can help to fight
plaque and bacteria that builds on
the teeth.

29. However, you still shouldn't chew
large amounts because gum of
any kind can interrupt the
digestive system and create
issues in the stomach.

30. If you are seeking professional dental advice,
it's time to call Shumway DentalCare.

31. Their Chandler dentists will ask you questions, examine
you, and determine exactly what needs to be done to
get you back to normal.
