In order to prevent a cavity, you should brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and rinse between meals. In addition to following a proper oral hygiene routine, we recommend scheduling biannual visits at our Centuria office for checkups and professional cleanings. This will ensure your mouth stays free of plaque buildup which could otherwise lead to tartar and eventually cavities.
There are a few more guidelines that Dr. Vargas recommends. These include:
Dental sealants (more common in children)
Oral care products containing fluoride
Fluoride treatments at our office
Eat foods that contain calcium, vitamin C, and phosphorus
Avoid sugary foods and frequent snacking.
