Cavities are prevented with Information

Much of dentistry that people know about these days is reactionary. For example, a person feels pain or a chipped tooth and they go to the dentist to find out that they will need a filling or root canal with a crown. It could have been prevented or significantly reduced with knowledge about brushing frequency, technique, flossing, chemical attack with rinses/toothpastes, and time in a person's life with the external environment playing a large role. A considerable amount of a these factors are different per person and can change over the span of a persons life. Incorporating the routine that a person needs to do for their own health is vital to prevent an infected tooth. Who wants an infection in their mouth? Many don't realize that cavities are caused by bacteria that accumulate to levels that attack tooth structure. Just imagine if that bacteria is strong enough to attack the hardest surface in your mouth, then what can it do to the rest of your body. There is plenty of research to show there is a link between the bacteria in the mouth to the bacteria on the heart. So one can see that it is important to know this and it may motivate them to find out their oral enviroment status to ensure prevention is on track instead of fixing it after it breaks. http://fullwilerdental.com/
