Children aren’t the only ones who get cavities. According to the CDC, 91% of Americans have cavities. Below are some steps you can take to prevent cavities.

You Are What You Eat (And Drink)
Do you know the saying “you are what you eat?” It’s true! Your teeth are affected by what you eat. Be sure to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your diet. In addition, drink plenty of fluoridated water throughout the day.

Practice Proper Dental Care
It is important to practice proper dental care each and every day. Make sure you brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. Both of these habits will keep your teeth healthy.

Visit the Dentist Twice A Year
One of the best ways to prevent cavities is by visiting the dentist at least twice a year. Have you scheduled your dental visit yet?
