Why Does My Child Have Cavities Despite Regular Brushing?

Often a child will brush their teeth too quickly and without assistance from an adult. Even though they are brushing, if it is inadequate, they are at increased risk of cavities.

  • Too much food intake increases the risk of bacteria which feeds on food as it breaks down in to sugar.
  • Six-month dentist check-ups as part of a good oral health routine helps prevent cavities.
