tooth decay prevention

Stopping dental rot

Tooth decay prevention encompasses practices that protect teeth from cavities and deterioration—brushing, flossing, limiting sugar, and regular dental checkups.

The phrase appears in public health campaigns and dental office literature: The program teaches children tooth decay prevention from an early age.

Fluoride treatments and sealants are common preventive measures.
