Tooth decay is a common disease that can affect people of all ages. It occurs when acids produced by bacteria present in dental plaque erode tooth enamel, which can lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss. Fortunately, there are some measures that can be taken to prevent tooth decay.

Proper Brushing Techniques

Brushing teeth at least twice a day, preferably after meals and before bedtime, helps remove plaque and food debris that accumulate on teeth and gums.

For better brushing results, it's recommended to use a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste. When brushing teeth, it's important to brush each tooth surface with circular movements and not forget the tongue.

Mouthwash

In addition to brushing, using mouthwashes can also be helpful in preventing tooth decay. Mouthwashes contain active ingredients, such as cetylpyridinium chloride or zinc chloride, that help kill bacteria.

Flossing

Flossing is essential for preventing tooth decay, as it helps remove food debris and dental plaque that accumulate between teeth. It's recommended to use it at least once a day.

Choosing Appropriate Foods

Choosing appropriate foods is also important for preventing tooth decay. Foods rich in sugars and refined carbohydrates can contribute to dental plaque formation.

Regular Dental Visits

Regular dental visits are fundamental for preventing cavities and other dental conditions. It's recommended to visit the dentist at least twice a year.
