3 Simple Ways to Prevent Tooth Decay
Dr. Paul V. Archacki,DDS PA
If you think that tooth decay is just for children, think again because you may be facing a large risk to your health if you don’t visit Boynton Beach
FL Dentists and leave tooth decay untreated.
Adult tooth decay can lead to major health problems like infection, bone or nerve damage and tooth loss. When left untreated, dental infections
can spread to other parts of the body and can even be life threatening in some cases.
If this sounds scary to you, the good news is, tooth decay is preventable. You can start by visiting
dentists in Boynton Beach FL and getting a check-up every 6 months to treat existing cavities
and prevent future occurrences.
You can also practice these healthy habits to prevent dental disease and keep your teeth and
gums healthy:
❖ Brushing Your Teeth❖ Flossing❖ Right Nutrition
Brushing Your Teeth
Brushing your teeth is the key to good oral health and hygiene. Make sure to brush your teeth with a soft-bristled
brush twice a day. Your toothbrush should reach all the areas of your mouth easily. Don’t forget to replace your
toothbrush every 3 or 4 months, or sooner if the bristles of your toothbrush are frayed. It doesn’t matter whether you
choose a manual or powered toothbrush, as long as you brush twice a day and choose an ADA-accepted fluoride
toothpaste.
Flossing
Brushing always goes hand in hand with flossing. Floss twice a day to remove plaque between your teeth where
your toothbrush cannot reach. Flossing is extremely important since any plaque that is not removed by brushing
will eventually harden and form into tartar or calculus. Once tartar has formed, it can only be removed by
professional cleaning by Boynton Beach dentists.
Right Nutrition
What you put in your mouth impacts not only your general health but also your dental health. Poor nutrition leads to
all kinds of health problems, including oral health problems, gum disease and cavities. In fact, studies show that people who wear dentures and have lost teeth do not eat enough fruits and vegetables and have less nutritious
diets.
Right Nutrition
The first signs of poor nutrition often show up in your dental health. Make sure to eat a balanced diet with fruits
and vegetables consisting half of what you eat everyday. Eat only whole grains like oatmeal, whole wheat bread, and
brown rice. Choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products and eat lean proteins like lean beef, fish, and skinless poultry.
Eat at least 8 oz of seafood every week.
Dental disease and tooth decay is preventable as long as you practice these healthy habits. Schedule a regular visit with the best dentist in Boynton Beach FL as part of your dental routine to lower your risk for tooth decay and other dental health
problems.
