FAQ

How do I prevent cavities?

You can help prevent cavities by following these tips:

Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
Floss daily or use an interdental cleaner.
Eat nutritious and balanced meals and limit snacking.
Check with your dentist about use of supplemental fluoride, which strengthens your teeth, and about use of dental sealants (a plastic protective coating) applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to protect them from decay.

Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral examination.
