Dental caries (cavities) is one of the most common oral health problems worldwide, affecting both children and adults. Timely prevention reduces the risk of complications and ensures long-term dental health.

What causes cavities?

The main cause of cavities is bacteria that feed on sugary foods and drinks. The acids they produce damage the enamel, creating holes in the teeth. Poor oral hygiene, frequent sugar intake, and irregular dental check-ups contribute to this process.

How to protect your teeth?

• Maintain oral hygiene – brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, use dental floss and mouth rinses.
• Eat a balanced diet – reduce sweets, and increase intake of vegetables, fruits, and dairy products.
• Regular dental check-ups – visit your dentist every 6 months, get professional cleanings, and consider fissure sealants for children.
• Use fluoride – fluoride toothpaste and treatments strengthen enamel and increase resistance to acids.

Conclusion

Caries prevention is based on daily hygiene, healthy nutrition, and regular dental visits.
