Cavities are one of the most common dental issues — and the good news is, they’re completely preventable with the right care. At our dental clinic in Lokhandwala, Andheri West, we help patients maintain healthy, cavity-free smiles every day.
What Causes Cavities?
Cavities (or dental caries) form when bacteria in your mouth produce acids that wear away your tooth enamel. This usually happens due to:
How to Prevent Cavities
- Brush Twice a Day
- Floss Daily
- Eat a Tooth-Friendly Diet
- Drink More Water
- Get Dental Sealants
- Visit Your Dentist Every 6 Months
Use a toothpaste and brush for at least 2 minutes — especially before bed.
Flossing helps clean the tight spaces between teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach.
Limit sugar, sticky foods, and soft drinks. Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots.
Water helps wash away food particles and maintains saliva flow, which naturally fights bacteria.
Sealants protect the grooves of back teeth (molars), especially helpful for kids and teens.
Professional cleaning and early detection can prevent small issues from becoming cavities.
