Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My age is 18 years. I had a root canal last year. I have many cavities in my teeth. I brush three times a day nicely then also cavities grow up and come on other teeth. Please tell me any of your solutions.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have been through your query and I can understand your concern.

The cavities (caries) have many causes to occur in the mouth. And overall cleaning with proper technique of brushing and flossing is essential to maintain good oral hygiene. Good oral hygiene with regular dental check-ups will ensure no cavities in the future. I would advise you to have a visit to your nearest dentist and get the remaining cavities filled (restored). And have a proper cleaning and scaling done for the teeth.

In order for proper brushing technique, ask the dentist you visit to show you the suitable and proper brushing technique. As for now, you can search the modified bass technique for brushing your teeth. Be gentle while brushing. Always brush after breakfast in the morning and after the dinner (before sleeping) in the night. Do regular oral rinses after having meals and floss regularly in order to ward off the cavities. Also, come for the regular dental checkups after six months to your nearest dentist (dental check ups will cost merely some bucks which is better than one time huge amount to spend and that too for drilling and filling your teeth). Maintain good oral hygiene and follow above said things and I can assure you that your teeth will never get any cavities.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
