Understanding Cavities: Causes and Prevention

Cavities are one of the most common dental problems. They occur when tooth enamel is damaged by acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. Here’s how to prevent them:

Frequent snacking, sugary drinks, and poor oral hygiene can lead to cavities. Bacteria feed on sugar, producing acids that erode enamel.

Prevention Strategies

To prevent cavities, limit sugary foods, brush regularly, and use mouthwash. Consider dental sealants for added protection.
