Factors Increasing The Risk of Cavities
● Lots of snacking and sipping causing your teeth to wear down
● Food that clings to your teeth for a long period of time like honey and hard candy
● Teeth that are harder to keep clean like back teeth (molars and premolars)
Young children and teenagers or older adults
● Feeding your infants during bedtime or when toddlers wander around drinking from a sippy cup or from bottles with liquids containing sugar
● Dry mouth
● Heartburn causes dentin attack
● Fillings and dental devices, easier for plaque build-up in certain zones that are hard to get to
● Eating disorders causing acid in your stomach to interfere with your production of saliva
● Not enough fluoride being used
*Note that plaque builds on your teeth within 20 minutes of eating so make sure you brush that away
