How to prevent tooth decay from spreading, so that the treatment is effective

The survey found that the number of people suffering from tooth decay is increasing, especially among children. This is an undesirable phenomenon. To prevent its spread, we must develop good eating habits, avoid eating outside of regular meals, reduce the number of times you eat and drink, and only drink water when you are thirsty.

1. Develop good eating habits

Every time you eat and drink, the minerals on the surface of your teeth are lost, creating a chance of tooth decay. The more often you eat and drink, the greater the chance of tooth decay. Therefore, breakfast, lunch and dinner should be eaten on time and in sufficient portions. Avoid eating outside of mealtimes to reduce the number of times you eat and drink. When you are thirsty, just drink water. This will reduce the chance of tooth decay. If you really feel hungry between meals, you can have a snack.

Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste every morning and evening. Fluoride can strengthen teeth and make them less susceptible to acid attack. Fluoride also helps return lost minerals to teeth and restore early tooth decay. Therefore, you should brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste every morning when you wake up and before going to bed at night.

Have a regular oral check-up every year. Have a regular oral check-up at least once a year to detect tooth decay early and receive preventive treatment as needed, such as applying anti-caries treatment.
