There are several things you can do to reduce your cavity rate. Obviously brushing and flossing regularly are important. You should avoid or limit foods that are high in sugar and starch, especially if they are sticky and tend to hang around in your mouth for a long period of time. Frequent sipping of soda or juice is very destructive as the high sugar content combined with the high acid content is especially harmful. Water is the best thing to drink as it helps clear the food and moistens the mouth. Many medications can lead to dry mouth, which increases cavities. In some cases a prescription strength fluoride toothpaste can be prescribed by your dentist.
