What Is A Cavity?
  Phoenix Kids’ Dentist Karen Chu
What Is A Cavity?
A cavity is a hole in the tooth that is caused
  by decay.
What Is Decay?
Decay is the destruction of tooth structure
 caused by infection (usually bacterial).
How Does Decay Occur?
Decay occurs when plaque (the sticky film
 that forms on teeth) combines with the
 sugars and/or starches of the food we eat.
How Does That Make A Cavity?
This combination produces acids that attack
 tooth enamel creating the hole.
What Prevents A Cavity?
The basics to prevent tooth decay are:
 brushing twice a day, flossing every day
 and getting regular dental check ups.
What Prevents A Cavity?
Substitute healthy foods for starchy junk
 food (and drinks) that are high in sugar.
 That will get tooth decay on the run!
What Prevents A Cavity?
Rinse your mouth with water right after
  eating anything acidic. Don't brush for 30
  minutes while the teeth are still acid soft!
How Does The Dentist
           Help To Prevent Cavities?
The Dentist will deep clean your teeth and
 check your gums to make sure there is no
 hidden decay hiding out to make a hole later.
How Does The Dentist
           Help To Prevent Cavities?
The dentist can also apply a sealant to
 protect the teeth from those times that acid
 food and drinks are just too good to resist!
