Preventing Tooth Decay To Maintain Healthy Teeth

I always knew that it was common for children to get cavities in their teeth but I was surprised when I went to the dentist a few months ago and learned that I had two cavities. I faithfully brush and floss my teeth every day and I also regularly visit the dentist, but I still had cavities. My name is Alana Perkins and if you want to maintain healthy teeth and gums, without cavities, I suggest you read my blog. After having my cavities filled, I talked to my dentist to learn how I could prevent them in the future. I also did a lot of fact-finding on my own to learn how to keep cavities from forming in the teeth. When you read my blog, you'll also discover how to prevent tooth decay and keep your teeth healthy.
