Mouth & Dental Care

Tooth decay is a disease that destroys tooth enamel and the underlying layer, dentin. It occurs when certain types of bacteria in your mouth produce acid after you eat or drink something containing sugar. Dental caries is synonymous with tooth decay and is also known as dental caries.

Tooth decay is caused by plaque acids that gradually dissolve the tooth's enamel and dentin. Tooth decay (sometimes known as tooth decay) damages your teeth and may result in the need for the tooth to be filled or even removed.

Prevent tooth decay with proper oral and dental care
The best way to prevent tooth decay is to brush your teeth thoroughly with a fluoride toothpaste last at night and at least once more each day. This should take about two minutes. Be sure to brush the inside, outside and biting surfaces of your teeth and gently along the gum line. Using interdental brushes or dental floss or tape also helps remove plaque and food from between teeth. These are areas that a regular toothbrush cannot reach. Using a fluoride mouthwash daily between brushing your teeth can also be helpful.

Mouthwashes
Mouthwash can do more than just freshen your breath. There are different types of mouthwashes, each serving a specific function. There are fluoride mouthwashes that help strengthen your teeth, antiseptic mouthwashes that fight tooth decay and hide bad breath, and herbal mouthwashes that don't contain alcohol. Rinsing with an alcohol-based mouthwash is not good for children under 6, who are likely to swallow the liquid.
