- Cavities are caused by the acid produced from snacks high in sugar and soda.
- Reduce drinking soda and drink plenty of water to balance the pH in your saliva.
- It is better to drink soda or eat sweets all at once as opposed to several intervals over a longer time period. This will decrease acid exposure to your teeth, thus less chances of forming cavities.
- Try to replace sweet snacks with healthy fruit.
- Consider chewing sugar-free gum. Trident, Orbit, or Spry prodcuts all have Xylitol, which is a natural sugar ingredient that can promote salivation and lessens chances of cavities.
- Remember that drinking a lot of coffee, tea, red wine, or eating dark berries can all contribute to stains.
