Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you\u2019re unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask your dental team about fluoride and sealants, two treatments that can make your teeth less cavity-prone. <\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"item-title faq-item-title-a  slide-down-trigger\" data-close-title=\"faq-item-title-a\" data-close-desc=\"faq-item\" data-target=\"faq-item-2\" itemprop=\"name\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Who needs dental sealants?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-item-2\" class=\"faq-item item-desc typo \" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p itemprop=\"text\">A dental sealant is an ultra-thin coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. Those surfaces have grooves where bacteria can collect and cause cavities. Sealants create a barrier to keep the bacteria out. Once applied, sealants lessen the risk of decay by about 80 percent. We often suggest applying when the first molars appear, around age 6, then again at around age 12 when second molars come through. Sealants typically provide protection for several years. During exams your dentist will check to ensure they are still in place. <\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"item-title faq-item-title-a  slide-down-trigger\" data-close-title=\"faq-item-title-a\" data-close-desc=\"faq-item\" data-target=\"faq-item-3\" itemprop=\"name\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Why should I go to a general dentist?\/Why do I need general dentistry?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-item-3\" class=\"faq-item item-desc typo \" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p itemprop=\"text\">General dentistry focuses on preventive care designed to keep your smile as healthy as possible by stopping issues like cavities and gum disease.
