Overview

Tooth decay happens when bacteria in your mouth produce acid that damages your teeth. This process can lead to cavities if not treated early.

With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, tooth decay can often be prevented. Early care helps keep your smile healthy and strong.

Small Habits, Big Impact

Daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups all play a role in preventing decay. Consistent care helps protect your teeth and avoid more complex treatment in the future.
