Understanding cavities and their causes
Cavities are more than just a nuisance; they can impact your oral health and overall well-being. Let’s explore what causes cavities:
- Bacterial action: Harmful bacteria produce acids that erode tooth enamel, leading to cavities.
- Poor oral hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque buildup, a primary cause of cavities.
- Dietary habits: Consuming sugary or acidic foods contributes to enamel erosion and cavity formation.
- Dry mouth: Reduced saliva flow can increase the risk of cavities as saliva helps neutralize acids.
These concerns demand attention to prevent further damage. Contact Laser Dentistry of Erie to discuss your options and take the first step towards a cavity-free smile.
