DIY Ways to Prevent Cavities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m often asked in my practice, ‘Dr O, how can I prevent tooth decay?’ Unfortunately it’s usually after I tell someone that they have cavities and need dental work. Because once you get holes in your teeth (cavities), it’s too late to reverse them and you need dental work to fix them. Fixing cavities also prevents root canals and could save your tooth. So my first advice is not to put off routine visits like cleanings and exams, because if you have any cavities they just get worse over time. In the following post I’ve listed the holistic ways to prevent tooth decay from getting a foothold to begin with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing is home care. Basically, most everyone needs to brush, floss and use a rubber tip once a day before going to bed. It’s also good to brush after breakfast before leaving home for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
