Bronxville dentist as soon as possible.

Dental Care Bronxville
Cavities are a common oral health problem that occur to many of our patients at your trusted
Bronxville dentist. While cavities are increasingly common, there are in fact many ways to avoid the entirely. Cavities are caused by the spread of tooth decay, which happens when teeth are not properly cleaned and cared for. Tooth decay is spread by the acids in your mouth, which are increased by sugars in many of the substances we eat and drink on a daily basis. These acids work with plaque and heightened levels of bacteria that grow in our mouths without proper care and work to break down the surface of our teeth, instead of only working to dissolve the foods we eat.
Many of us believe that teeth are properly cared for inside of our own homes, but this simply is not the case. Brushing and flossing twice a day is a necessary basis of dental prophylaxis, but the only way to truly prevent cavities is through regular cleanings and examinations twice a year from your professional
Bronxville dentist. Hardened deposits of tartar and calcium begin to form on the surface of your teeth just twenty minutes after snacks and meals, and cannot be removed without the help of a professional hygienist. If you are experiencing a mild toothache, this is often the first and only sign of a cavity. In most cases tooth decay shows no symptoms at all, and as such patients should maintain regular appointments to insure an early diagnosis.
