Dental cavities can be prevented by a low level of fluoride constantly maintained in the oral cavity. Fluoride can be obtained from fluoridated drinking water, salt, milk, mouth rinse or toothpaste, as well as from professionally-applied fluorides. Long-term exposure to an optimal level of fluoride results in fewer cavities in both children and adults. Daily oral care should include brushing and flossing to prevent problems from developing. Regular visits with the dental team are also very important as they can assist you in learning techniques to maintain good oral health.
