“I don’t eat sweets at all, but I still get cavities. Why does this happen?”
Many patients are surprised when cavities show up despite avoiding sweets. But cavities aren’t just caused by chocolates or desserts. Here’s why it happens:
✅ Hidden sugars & carbs – Foods like bread, rice, chips, and even fruits break down into cavity-causing acids.
✅ Brushing gaps – Missing plaque between teeth (especially without flossing) leads to decay.
✅ Dry mouth – Less saliva means less natural protection.
✅ Lifestyle habits – Frequent snacking, acidic drinks, or irregular check-ups increase risk.
At Platina Dental, Dr. Swetha emphasizes preventive dentistry – stopping dental problems before they even start. With regular check-ups and the right home care, cavities can absolutely be prevented.
🦷 Remember: It’s not just about avoiding sweets — it’s about complete oral hygiene!
