@drnatphoon: Caries is a complex, multifactorial disease that is so prevalent it affects half of the world's population making it the most common chronic disease globally. Fortunately we have strategies to reduce and prevent it: ✅ Fluoride toothpaste, 2x a day, especially at night ✅ Floss daily — cavities love the spots your brush can't reach ✅ Cut sipping on sweet drinks — grazing on sugar/acid all day does more damage than one dessert ✅ Hydrate to avoid dry mouth which allows bacteria to flourish ✅ Never snack in the middle of your sleep cycle ✅ Rinse with water after acidic foods/drinks like coffee or lemon water, don't brush immediately ✅ Don't skip your X-Rays which can help identify problems like very early decay which can still be remineralized ✅ Visit your dentist every 6 months to identify other caries risk factors This is general education, not a diagnosis — if you're worried about a specific tooth, please get it checked in person. 📅 Book a checkup — link in bio #dentist #cavityprevention #dentaltips #oralhealth #teethtok
