KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Taking care of your teeth helps prevent cavities and gum disease. Brushing and flossing properly can prevent plaque (pronounced: plak), a clear film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth. After you eat, the bacteria break down sugar on your teeth into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities.

Detailed explanation-2: -As mentioned earlier, everyone’s saliva is composed of different amounts of minerals such as phosphate and calcium. These minerals, along with fluoride and water, work to protect our tooth enamel from bacteria. Some people have more minerals in their saliva than others, giving them an upper hand in fighting cavities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Change in daily routine: If you weren’t getting cavities before and now you are, it’s highly likely that something in your life has changed that’s causing the sudden onset. Consider lifestyle factors like diet, stress, starting school or a new job, and new habits.
