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.

When you read my blog, you'll also discover how to prevent tooth decay and keep your teeth healthy.
