Are you or your kids suffering from tooth cavities? 

The term "cavities" is another word for tooth decay which can cause a hole in your tooth. Dental cavities form when the germs on the tooth surface turn free sugars in the diet (all sugars added to food by a manufacturer, cook or a person, plus sugars naturally present in honey, syrups and fruit juices) into acid which destroys the tooth surface over time. Habits such as what we eat and how well we take care of our teeth will have a direct effect on tooth decay.

Causes:

Tooth sensitivity or dentin hypersensitivity is a very common condition that affects a lot of people around the world. It is experienced as a sharp pain, and is triggered by eating hot or cold foods, drinking hot or cold beverages, breathing cold air, or eating sugary or acidic foods. This occurs when the enamel is worn down or if the gum line is recessed. In both cases the dentin (the layer below the enamel in the crown of the tooth) is exposed.

Causes:

Did you know your kids can start brushing their teeth with a fluoride toothpaste as early as when they get their first tooth?
