What is caries and why is its prevention important?
Caries is a common dental disease caused by the demineralization of enamel under the influence of acids produced by bacteria in the oral cavity. Caries prevention plays a crucial role in maintaining dental health and preventing oral diseases.
Dentist’s Tips for Caries Prevention
A professional dentist from the Prizma clinic provides the following tips for caries prevention in adults and children:
- Brush your teeth regularly. Properly brushing your teeth after every meal helps remove plaque and prevent the formation of dental plaque, which can lead to caries.
- Use dental floss. Dental floss helps clean between the teeth, where a toothbrush cannot reach.
- Limit the consumption of sweet and acidic foods. Sugar and acid contribute to enamel erosion and the growth of bacteria that cause caries.
- Visit the dentist regularly. Regular dental visits allow for the detection and treatment of early stages of caries before it becomes a serious problem.
- Use fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevents the development of caries.
Caries Prevention in Children
Caries prevention in children is especially important because milk teeth serve as a “bridge” to healthy permanent teeth. Parents should monitor children’s oral hygiene, limit the consumption of sugary beverages, and teach children how to brush their teeth correctly.
