Your risk for cavities is low.

Recommendations

To maintain a low risk for tooth decay, we recommend:

At the dentist's office

• Visit your dentist regularly (every 6 to 12 months) for an exam and cleaning. Regular dental visits are important even if you don't notice a problem. By the time you notice something is wrong or have pain, the problem could be more serious.

At home

• Brush at least twice a day for 2-3 minutes with a fluoride toothpaste.
• Floss at least once a day.
• Limit snacking and avoid sugary foods.
• Consider using xylitol gum or candy instead of regular gum or candy.
