Dental Cavities

Understanding Dental Cavities in Children:

Dental cavities, also known as caries or tooth decay, occur when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that erode the enamel of the teeth. Children are particularly susceptible to cavities due to factors such as their developing oral hygiene habits, dietary choices, and the vulnerability of their enamel.

Prevention Starts at Home:

1. Establishing a Routine: Introduce your child to a regular oral care routine early on. Teach them the importance of brushing their teeth at least twice a day, using fluoride toothpaste suitable for their age.
2. Healthy Dietary Habits: Limit sugary snacks and beverages, as sugar is a major contributor to cavity formation. Encourage a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products that support strong teeth.
3. Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups at Dental Square. Early detection of dental issues allows for prompt intervention, preventing cavities from progressing.
