How to prevent cavities and yellow marks in teeth?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Even though I brush twice daily, I have a few little cavities, and several of my teeth have gone yellow, as if from tartar or something. I wanted to know how to keep these markings and cavities at bay.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Kindly get scaling done more often for at least one year, every four months. Humans are different, so hormones, food habits, acid production, and acid refluxes differ in every person, so do not get disheartened. Just continue maintaining good oral hygiene habits. First of all, scale and use fluoridated mouthwash for 15 days.
Remember to rinse your mouth well with plain water after every meal. For tooth brushing, kindly apply toothpaste to your teeth with a fingertip and massage well with your fingers for three minutes. Then, brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush in a circular motion and rinse off. Kindly change your toothpaste and toothbrush every four months and use a soft-bristled toothbrush.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and take care.
Regards.
