Certain patients are prone to cavities regardless of their dental hygiene habits and diets. For example, a patient with overcrowded teeth often has points of friction between the teeth that can increase their chances of developing a cavity.
Poor oral health is the leading cause of cavities, so it’s best to maintain a good oral hygiene routine. This includes brushing and flossing twice per day, as well as keeping up with your biannual visits to our Churbusco office for cleanings.
If you suspect you have a cavity, don’t wait to seek treatment. Contact our Churubusco office at (260) 693-9300 as soon as possible. An ignored cavity can lead to further tooth decay that can affect other teeth and the health of your gums as well.
