A Guide to Preventing Cavities

Imagine that you are at Dr. Motiwala’s office for a cleaning and regular checkup. Dr. Motiwala tells you that you have a hole after the cleaning goes well. You’ve been afraid of hearing this news, and now you’re worried that something must be wrong since you’ve been brushing and flossing your teeth regularly.

We see this happen every day at Dr. Motiwala Dental Clinic & Implant Centre, and we want to put your mind at ease. Cavities are very frequent and easy for Dr. Motiwala to fix most of the time. Use this help to learn about cavities and how to keep them from happening.

How Cavities Work:

Too much plaque leads to tooth damage, which in turn leads to cavities.

How does it work? Every day, the food we eat is broken down by our saliva into bacteria and then acid. When this acid mixes with the saliva, it forms a sticky substance called plaque. Plaque only takes 20 minutes to form on your teeth after you eat, which is pretty crazy. Plaque eats away at the enamel, which is the hard top layer of your teeth. If you don’t do anything about plaque, it will probably lead to tooth decay, which breaks down the structure of your teeth. During this process, damage can happen to both the enamel and the dentin (the layer under the enamel). This can often lead to a hole.

How to Keep Your Teeth Healthy

Now that you know how cavities start, it’s time to learn how to protect your teeth. First of all, it’s important to know that most people will get at least one cavity in their lives. Cavities are most common in children, but people of any age can get them at any time. How do you protect yourself? These are the tips we suggest:

• Every day, you should brush and floss your teeth at least twice, especially after eating sweet or starchy foods. These foods are easy to turn into acid, which causes cavities.
• Rinses and pastes for your teeth help keep them safe.
• Watch out for pains or aches in your teeth, especially when they are caused by cold, hot, or sweet foods or drinks.
• You can get your teeth cleaned and checked at Dr. Motiwala Dental Clinic & Implant Centre. We know how to stop cavities from getting worse, and we love to see people smile with pride.

It’s fine if you still worry about cavities. We just want you to know that they are pretty common and that you shouldn’t feel bad about having one. Despite this, you shouldn’t just ignore them. In the long run, cavities can change the color of your teeth and even make holes in them.

Don’t worry. Dr. Motiwala is a well-known dentist, and our office has modern X-ray and laser equipment that can find holes before people even know they have them.
