🕳️ Cavities are more common in kids than you might think — but they're preventable.
Cavities form when bacteria feed on sugar and produce acids that damage enamel. Kids' enamel is thinner, making them more vulnerable. Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, and limiting sugary snacks makes a huge difference. Untreated cavities can reach the pulp, causing pain and even tooth loss.
Don't wait — schedule regular check-ups at Afton Pediatric Dentistry for fluoride treatments and cavity prevention.
