Known and feared by all, cavities are a problem we have in mind.
Tooth decay occurs when bacteria in plaque break down sugar into acid.
How to prevent them? It is important to reduce the consumption of foods that have a high sugar content, such as candy and sweets, cookies, chips, or sugary drinks such as fruit juices or carbonated drinks.
But cavities are not only produced by the ingestion of this type of food that damages the enamel, there are people who for genetic reasons have a greater predisposition to develop cavities, because for example they may have a thinner layer of enamel.
If we also have a healthy and balanced diet with foods that help improve dental health, we will avoid possible problems of this type.
If we add to this good dental hygiene habits, we will achieve better oral health.
