Haute Beauty<\/em>: How do people get cavities?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dr. Katherine Roman:<\/strong><\/a> Basically, cavities<\/a> are a disease. Just put it like that, cavities<\/a> are a disease. There are little bacteria in people\u2019s mouths. If we don\u2019t brush well, if we don\u2019t floss well, those bacteria produce acids and these acids weaken the enamel, which is the first layer of the tooth, developing a cavity.<\/p>\n

HB: Are there foods people should avoid if they are prone to cavities?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

KR:<\/strong> Soda<\/a> and juices. All of the juices are very high in sugar. So, they are very key to developing cavities in people because of the amount of sugar that those juices have.<\/p>\n

HB: What are some ways that we can maintain a healthy mouth?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

KR:<\/strong> We need to have frequent visits to the dentist, the use of dental floss and professional cleanings, at least twice a year, a healthy and balanced diet.<\/p>\n

HB: \u00a0Do you have any toothpaste that you recommend to your patient or that you find that are really good for dealing with cavities?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

KR:<\/strong> Right now there are various kinds of toothpaste on the market. The one that I used to recommend to my patients that are very high cavity risk, we call it like that, is the <\/span>PreviDent\u00ae 5000<\/span>, but that one is a prescription toothpaste.<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: Do you have anything else about cavities and cavity prevention that you would like to add?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

KR:<\/strong> It is very important to not go to sleep without brushing the teeth because at this point is when we have less amount of saliva in our mouth so the pH of the mouth goes, drops very low and that\u2019s why it is very important to brush teeth before you go to sleep.<\/p>\n

HB: What about dental health?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

KR: \u00a0<\/strong>It's important to use Xylitol.<\/p>\n
