What Are Cavities? Also known as Tooth Decay Cavities occur when bacteria in plaque metabolize dietary sugar to make acid. The acid demineralizes the tooth and creates a “cavity” Continuous acid attacks can cause the enamel (first layer) of the tooth to break down Refined sugars found in candy, crackers and soda make it easier for bacteria to breakdown into acid Cavities can happen on any surface of the tooth Saliva acts as a natural defense to help repair enamel

Preventing Tooth Decay Ask your Provider about: Fluoride Fluoride: Naturally-occurring mineral that helps protect against cavities by making the outer surface of the teeth more resistant to acid attacks Fluoride Varnish: Protective coating that is painted on the teeth to help prevent new cavities and stop cavities that have already started Topical fluoride: Found in toothpaste and mouthwash helps to protect the teeth Systemic fluoride: Found in tap water helps strengthen bones and teeth Dental Sealants Sealants are protective plastic coating that can be applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay often starts Sealants protects the grooves within the teeth from bacteria that may cause cavities
