There are many factors which can cause cavities even with regular teeth brushing, among them inadequate oral hygiene. Regular appointments with a dentist can help prevent your child having cavities.
Key takeaways:
- Children often miss cleaning hard-to-reach areas of the mouth where the food which bacteria feeds on can be trapped.
- Frequently eating food increases the risk of more bacteria as it feeds off the sugar from the food breaking down.
- Regularly drinking water can help clear the mouth of food debris and neutralise acid produced by bacteria.
“Bacteria feed on food that breaks down into sugar. Any carbohydrate breaks down into a form of sugar which is a treat to bacteria. Bacteria feed on these sugars, produce acid that soften the tooth and gradually forms a cavity.”
