• Cavity is a widespread dental problem resulting from tooth decay.

• Not only does this bacterial tooth infection cause tooth pain and discomfort but destroys the tooth enamel over time putting your overall oral health at risk.




• The good news cavities are preventable. And the most common ways you must have heard include regular brushing, flossing, dental visits and avoiding sugary treats.

• While these practices certainly help reverse cavity and heal tooth decay, there are some dental habits and foods that can be surprisingly effective when it comes to treating and preventing cavity.

• Let’ take a glance at such lesser known elements that can work wonders for your cavity and dental health as well.




CHEESE

• Cheese is rich in casein protein that considered good for teeth.

• Also, eating cheese is said to increase calcium levels in the mouth preventing cavities from occurring.




SUGAR-FREE CHEWING GUMS

• Sugar-free gums contain xylitol as a sugar substitute which impedes the growth of decay-causing bacteria in the mouth.

• It is recommended to consume Xylitol induced gums several times (3-5) a day to prevent dental caries.




WINE

• Though wine has been notorious for staining pearly whites, research has revealed that both red and white wine contains some chemical components that can actively fight bacteria which cause tooth decay and cavities.




CANDY

• We are always taught that sugary candies and toffees are always blamed to decay teeth.

• However, candies and lollipops sweetened with xylitol are actually good for your pearly whites.




In addition, teeth-friendly habits that you can incorporate in your daily life.

• Use a straw when consuming soda and soft drinks to minimise the damage to your teeth.

• Talk with your dentist to seal off crannies and areas around your teeth where food particles are easily trapped.

• Avoid bottled water and instead drink tap ad normal water which is fluoridated to help promote the production of salvia and protect your teeth from harmful bacteria.




CONCLUSION

• The above mentioned foods and dental habits are worthy of consideration and can contribute to prevention of cavities.

• However, keep in mind brushing and flossing are still the primary ways to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

• So, include these surprising cavity fighters into your dental health maintenance routine while keeping long-recommended primary practices.
