Here are some tips to keep your teeth free from getting cavities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Remove food debris and bacteria from your teeth with regular dental cleanings. Tools at home can keep the cavities away!<\/strong> If food or bacteria sits on the teeth too long, it begins to eat away at the teeth and produce acid which speeds the decay process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brush and floss. Brushing is very important, but flossing is equally important!<\/strong> Flossing prevents cavities between your teeth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid decay. Eat acidic and sugary foods and drinks in moderation<\/strong>.The food and drinks you consume also cause decay. Acidic foods and drinks such as juices, citrus fruits, soda and sugary snacks eaten in excess eat away at your teeth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seek treatment from a medical doctor for acid reflux. <\/strong>What\u2019s going on inside your body can also affect your teeth. If you have been diagnosed with or suspect you have acid reflux, seek treatment from a medical doctor right away. Too much acid in the stomach can come up through the esophagus causing wear to the teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, cavities do happen. These tips will help you decrease the rate of decay in your mouth.
