Hey dr, i wanted to ask you about cavities, i have 6,7 cavities which are very small and haven't even appeared on xrays so I wanted to ask can i reverse those cavities, if not, is it possible to keep cavities on a halt by regularly brushing and preventing them from getting worse?
Small areas of demineralization can be reversed/arrested, yes. You have to not only brush regularly, but correctly, AND make sure to floss. We often get cavities between teeth from lack of flossing. You can check my videos on how to brush and how to floss on my channel! One more thing, what kind of toothpaste do you use. I really like Dr. Jen’s right now, and I recommend in the evening brushing with toothpaste and rinsing it out and then going back and rubbing some toothpaste all over your teeth, especially areas of concern, and leaving overnight. Lastly, make sure between meals to drink some water to help balance out pH faster. Avoid carbonated drinks. Hope this helps!
I use sensodyne toothpaste and before that i was using colgate anticavity, i really hope i can reverse them, also does drinking milk and having dairy products also help in this process???
again, brushing properly AND flossing correctly/consistently will help most with preventing cavities. Diet can help as well, although drinking more milk/dairy products won't exactly help because often those products contain added sugar. drinking more water would be better help. you can also try hydroxyapatite toothpaste! I have a few videos on that on my channel, and i'm really liking it! @@haider-ali
