Kids and Cavities

Even the best brushers can get a cavity curveball. Keep those teeth shining bright with regular checkups and reading these tips:

• Poor nutrition, bad hygiene habits, or a lack of dental care can lead to cavities
• Baby teeth can appear with cavities already formed
• Cavities in baby teeth can spread to the permanent teeth waiting to push through
• Bacteria eats through baby teeth faster, making them more defenseless against cavities than the adult teeth that replace them
• More than half of children develop cavities by the age of 8 in the US
• Severe, untreated tooth decay can lead to broken teeth, abscesses and, in extreme cases, even death in children¹

Keep your kid’s teeth strong and cavity-free. Book your child’s next dental checkup today!
