Tooth Decay

Prevention of tooth decay is a key aspect of maintaining good oral health and involves adopting healthy habits and undergoing regular dental check-ups. At Dental Care 4 U, Dr. Priyanka Khanna emphasizes preventive measures to help patients avoid tooth decay and maintain healthy teeth and gums. Preventive measures for tooth decay include:

• Regular Dental Check-ups: Routine dental visits allow early detection and treatment of dental issues, including tooth decay.
• Good Oral Hygiene: Brushing teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using mouthwash can help remove plaque and prevent decay.
• Healthy Diet: Avoiding sugary and acidic foods and drinks can help prevent decay.
• Fluoride Treatment: Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent decay.
• Dental Sealants: Sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent decay.

By following these preventive measures and visiting Dental Care 4 U regularly, patients can significantly reduce their risk of developing tooth decay and maintain a healthy smile for life.
