How Can I Prevent Cavities?

Brushing and flossing your teeth every day is the key to preventing cavities. You also need to supplement your home oral hygiene with two trips to our office every year for professional dental cleanings and exams. No matter how diligently you brush at home, you’ll miss some plaque that over time becomes tartar that causes cavities. We remove it during cleanings. We may also suggest preventive treatments like applications of fluoride or dental sealants.
