Strategies For Improving Your Defense Against Cavities

It can be frustrating to learn that you have a cavity, despite keeping up with what you believed was effective preventive dental care. Protecting your smile against decay calls for a straightforward approach – brush and floss effectively, and limit your consumption of sugar. Unfortunately, it can be less simple than it seems at first. Ineffective or infrequent brushing and flossing habits can create problems, and your teeth may be more susceptible to decay than you realize. Your Rochester, MN dentist’s office can help you by providing general dental care, and identifying cavities early in their formation. You can discuss your struggles to protect your teeth with your dentist to find a possible solution to your troubles.

Improving Your Daily Dental Care Regimen

Are you brushing often enough? Are you flossing regularly? if you are struggling to avoid tooth decay, you may want to reexamine your daily habits. Brush twice a day for at least two minutes, and make the effort to reach every area of your smile. Missing portions of teeth can leave plaque behind, which can lead to the formation of tartar. You also need to floss every day. If you continually skip flossing, you can fail to protect spaces between teeth, which can house oral bacteria and food debris.

Changing Daily Behaviors To Protect Yourself Against Tooth Decay

Over time, a person’s natural cavity resistance can change. This can be because of enamel erosion over time, but it could be due to small behavior changes you may not realize you have made. Pay attention to your typical diet, and your water consumption. If you have found yourself turning to more sugary snacks and foods, you could be exposing yourself to more potential dental harm. Drinking more water can help you by washing away harmful debris, and by keeping you hydrated. Proper hydration helps you produce saliva, which provides a natural cavity defense.
