How to keep cavities away

How can we help kids prevent cavities?

Cavities happen when bacteria and food is left on the teeth after eating. Acid collects on a tooth, softening its enamel until a hole–or cavity–forms.

If we teach kids to brush twice a day with toothpaste, then floss, this can keep those ugly bugs away!

Limiting sugary foods, juices, and especially sticky candy will help prevent eroding the enamel. BONUS TIP – if your child is required to take a liquid medicine that is sweet, make sure they rinse or brush afterwards.
