Cavities and Dental Decay

Protecting Your Smile from Cavities and Dental Damage

Tooth decay occurs when bacteria in plaque feed on sugars and carbohydrates, producing acids that slowly erode the enamel the protective outer layer of your teeth. Over time, this process can lead to cavities, sensitivity, infection, or even tooth loss if left untreated.

At Revita Dentistry, we focus on prevention to help patients maintain strong, healthy smiles. Understanding how decay forms and acting early can stop it before it causes serious damage. Preventing cavities not only helps preserve your natural teeth and their strength but also reduces the risk of discomfort, infection, and costly treatments, while supporting your overall confidence and oral health.

At Revita Dentistry, we believe that prevention is the best form of care. Cavities and dental decay are among the most common oral health concerns, but with the right daily habits and routine dental visits, they’re highly preventable. How to Keep Cavities Away:

• Brush and Floss Daily: Use fluoride toothpaste and brush for at least two minutes, twice a day.
• Limit Sugary Foods and Drinks: Reduce sweets and soft drinks to minimize acid attacks on enamel.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to rinse away food particles and neutralize acids.
• Schedule Regular Checkups: Visit us every 4–6 months for cleanings and early cavity detection.
