5 Ways To Prevent Cavities Now! [BLOG]

September 23, 2018

Our team at Bell Dental Group believes that a proactive approach to oral health is the best way to preserve your smile. That’s why we offer preventive services like dental sealants and fluoride treatments upon request in our Cincinnati, OH practice as part of your routine checkups to protect your teeth.

It’s also why we’re devoting today’s blog to ways you can stop oral health issues before they start!

5 Ways To Prevent Cavities Now!

Here are five habits you can start now to prevent cavities and other potentially serious dental problems!

Habit #1 – Commit To Daily Flossing!

Research tells us that many adults in this country aren’t telling the truth.

Well, at least when it comes to their flossing habits.

Studies suggest that most of us might say we floss everyday, but in reality, we aren’t doing it.

This is so important because flossing is one of the best ways to dislodge food particles from the tiny spaces in your mouth that fuel bad bacteria that cause gum disease!

Without daily flossing, you’re at a much higher risk for a whole spectrum of dental problems.

Habit #2 – Use A Toothpaste With Fluoride!

The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time, but did you realize there was more to this best oral care practice?

They also suggest you use a fluoridated toothpaste and soft-bristle brush.

So make sure you’re getting the most out of this habit by using the right products and tools!

Habit #3 – Limit Your Sugar!

Sugar, as we all know, is not good for your teeth. In fact, it’s probably the worst thing you can consume, especially when it comes to your oral health.

The reason for that is because harmful bacteria inside your mouth loves sugar above all other food sources and will create acids as it feasts on it. These acids will erode your tooth enamel and leave your teeth and gums vulnerable to tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.

Habit #4 – Eat A Fiber-Rich Diet!

When you think of fiber, healthy digestion is probably the first thing that comes to mind.

But fiber can help your smile, too!

That’s because fiber can actually promote saliva production, which is important in washing away food particles and other debris that linger in your mouth after a meal.

So you may want to look closely at your daily diet to see if you’re getting enough fiber, and if you aren’t, now is the time to change that!

Habit #5 – Maintain Routine Dental Appointments!

Many people make the mistake of thinking you really only need to go to the dentist if there’s a problem.

But the truth is that you can’t clean hardened tartar from your teeth and under the gumline with just brushing and flossing. You need help from a highly-skilled hygienist and dentist who have the tools and experience to keep your mouth clean and prevent cavities and gum disease.

Schedule A Dental Checkup!

Bell Dental Group is your trusted source for cavity prevention, early detection technology, and proactive measures to protect your teeth and gums.

Don’t miss out on excellent routine dental care!
