Protect Your Smile from Tooth Decay – Polaris Dental, Brampton

Tooth decay is a common dental issue that affects children, teens, and adults alike. It occurs when plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, builds up on your teeth. When sugars from food and drinks interact with this plaque, they produce acids that attack tooth enamel, leading to cavities over time.

Tooth Decay Affects All Ages

🦷 Children & Teens – More prone to cavities due to high sugar consumption and developing oral hygiene habits.
🦷 Adults – Gum recession and aging make teeth more vulnerable to decay, especially around old fillings.
🦷 Seniors – Tooth-root decay is common due to gum recession, increased sensitivity, and weakening dental restorations.

How to Prevent Tooth Decay

Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste to strengthen enamel
Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth
Eat a balanced diet and reduce sugary snacks
Consider fluoride treatments and dental sealants for added protection
