Dental cavities can happen in kids as well as adults.  Although a dentist can repair a cavities,  there are simple steps you can take in order to prevent having cavities develop.

Brushing:  Make sure to brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day.  Also gently brush your gums in order to keep your gums healthy. It is recommended to use a soft bristles toothbrush.

Flossing:  Flossing your teeth at least once a day is important part of your dental health care routine. Flossing helps to remove plaque and food that may be caught in between the teeth where your toothbrush can not reach.

Drink more water:  Limit the amount of soda and other sugary drinks.  Water is not only good for your body but good for your teeth.

Visit your dentist:  The rule of thumb is every six months for your dental cleaning and check-ups, However your dentist, depending your our dental needs may advise more or less dental visits.
