Preventing and Treating Cavities with Markham Dental Group



Tooth decay and cavities are among the most common health problems globally. Markham Dental Group offers advanced dental care services to prevent and treat tooth decay, ensuring healthy smiles for all ages.


Understanding Tooth Decay and Cavities


Tooth decay, or dental caries, occurs when enamel and dentin are damaged by acids produced from plaque accumulation on teeth. Frequent consumption of sugary and starchy foods contributes to this process, leading to cavity formation.


Symptoms and Risks of Cavities

Recognizing early signs of cavities can prevent complex dental issues. Symptoms include:

  • Sensitivity to temperature changes

  • Toothache or discomfort

  • Visible holes or pits in your teeth

  • Discoloration or staining on the tooth surface

Preventative Measures Against Tooth Decay


Markham Dental Group emphasizes the importance of:

  • Regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and daily flossing

  • Professional dental cleanings and examinations

  • Applying dental sealants to protect teeth from decay

  • Limiting sugary and acidic food and beverage intake

Special Considerations for Children: Combating Baby Bottle Tooth Decay


Special attention is needed for infants and toddlers to prevent baby bottle tooth decay, which affects primary teeth due to prolonged exposure to liquids containing sugars.
