Cavities form when acids produced by bacteria in your mouth wear down your enamel. While sugary foods are a major culprit, acidic drinks, frequent snacking, and poor oral hygiene all increase your risk. Signs of cavities include tooth sensitivity, visible pits, or discoloration.
The good news? Cavities are largely preventable, brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary and acidic foods, and eat enamel-friendly foods like cheese, nuts, and crunchy veggies. Protect your smile before small problems turn into big ones! ✨
