Stop Cavities Before They Start
Preventing cavities is easier and less expensive than treating them. Regular checkups let your dentist catch early decay before it needs a filling.
Preventive steps include:
- Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Flossing daily
- Routine dental cleanings and exams
- Fluoride treatments and dental sealants for added protection
- Limiting sugary and acidic foods and drinks

Why Regular Visits Matter
Cavities often develop with no pain or visible symptoms until they've progressed. Routine exams and X-rays catch decay while it's still small and easy to treat.
