If you have dealt with cavities, fillings, crowns, or root canals, this episode is for you.
This is a practical, step-by-step guide focused on daily actions that help protect your enamel and reduce the risk of cavities getting worse.
We cover:
How cavities start and when they can still be reversed
Why brushing too hard can damage enamel
A simple brushing routine that actually protects teeth
How sugar and frequent sweets drive acidity and enamel erosion
What to do after sweets to reduce damage
Why waiting before brushing after meals matters
When higher-fluoride toothpaste can help remineralize early cavities
Dry mouth, alcohol, caffeine, and why they increase risk
When cleanings and X-rays are useful, and when they may not be necessary
Flossing vs water picks, and how to make flossing actually work
The goal is simple. Keep your teeth as long as possible, minimize pain, minimize antibiotics, and avoid procedures whenever you can.
