Children should not over consume candy and sweet food

..........Children should not over consume candy and sweet food and rinse their mouths with water after nibbling. Dr. Scott Navarro, dental director at Delta Dental of New Jersey, explains: “Cavities and tooth decay are caused by prolonged exposure to sugar. Parents can help their kids fight cavities by decreasing the amount of time sugar comes in contact with their teeth, as well as moderating the amount of candy they consume.”

The main advice to adults is that Smoking and drinking are the causes of several diseases such as periodontitis and cancer and should be limited or avoided. Older patients should use additional floss and treatment against mouth-dryness that fosters the decay of teeth.
