How to reduce cavities?

Regularly rinsing with warm water after eating anything helps a lot. We also use neem twigs or standard herbal toothpastes, but visiting the dentist is must if decay has started.

It is simple: brush twice a day, floss daily, and use a fluoride mouthwash. Most people ignore flossing, which is exactly where most cavities start forming.

Honestly, I used to skip brushing at night because I was too lazy, and ended up with two painful fillings. Now I strictly brush before sleeping, no matter how tired I am.

My dentist told me I have early stage decay. Can cavities actually be reversed by brushing better, or is a filling always necessary?

I was reading that saliva is our natural defense against cavities because it neutralizes acid. So drinking lots of water throughout the day actually helps protect your teeth.

Poor dental hygiene is linked to systemic health and even heart issues. I always make sure my family gets dental cleanups done every six months along with our regular health checks.
