But what do you do when you\nkeep getting cavities and feel like every visit to the dentist means another\nfilling for your mouth? Chances are, the causes behind your cavities are things\nwithin your control! Find out the most common reasons that patients keep\ngetting cavities and what you can do to make your next visit to the dentist quick\nand easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Dental Health Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one reason most people keep getting cavities\nthroughout their lives is simply due to poor dental habits. Cavities form from\nbacteria wearing away at your teeth. If you aren\u2019t taking care of your teeth,\nonly your saliva will be able to fight back against the bacteria. While it does\nan admirable job, it can\u2019t compete with the acidic attacks from bacteria\nhardening into plaque and eventually into tartar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some of the steps you may be skipping that are\ncausing you to keep getting cavities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daily Brushing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brushing your teeth isn\u2019t an option if you want to keep\nthem. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/how-to-brush-your-teeth\/\">Daily\nbrushing is a necessary part of your routine<\/a>, and it serves to remove\nbacteria or particles of food from your teeth to protect them. Every time you\nbrush, you\u2019re cleaning away countless collections of bacteria and acidic\nsubstances that would otherwise wear through your teeth throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how well you brush, bacteria will always return.\nThat\u2019s why you must brush every single day. While missing a day here or there\nthroughout your life won\u2019t make a massive difference, time is what allows\nbacteria to harden. The longer it has to set into your teeth, the more\ndifficult it is to remove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daily Flossing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/is-flossing-important\/\">Brushing\nand flossing go hand-in-hand. For<\/a> every bit of bacterium on your open\nsurfaces, there lies more between your teeth. Cavities can form in these gaps\nbetween teeth just as easily as on the upper, inner or outer surfaces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t flossing daily, you\u2019re leaving behind bacteria\nthat could be considered even more dangerous for your oral health. Plaque build-up\nbetween your teeth is just as harmful as other plaque, but it\u2019s harder to\nnotice until it\u2019s advanced well past the early stages of decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you don\u2019t bite on these surfaces, or experience much\ncontact at all, you may not realize you have a cavity until you have a dental\ncheck-up. Which leads us to one of the most concerning problems with many\nadults and their dental health habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Check-ups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Skipping your regular dental health check-ups is a straight\nroute to disaster! Health concerns associated with cavities and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/periodontal-disease-treatment\/\">gum\ndisease<\/a> are much easier for a dentist to identify than you at home. With\ntools like x-rays and their countless years of education and experience, the\ntrained eye of a dentist is necessary to confirm your good oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel no pain, have no discomfort and see no warning\nsigns in your teeth or gums, you still need to see your dentist. Like the rest\nof your body, routine examinations and tests are necessary to make sure\neverything is working properly \u201cunder the hood.\u201d It\u2019s surprisingly common for\nthose with even the best brushing and flossing routines to still develop\ncavities \u2013 and they\u2019re often only found during their dental examinations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common reason that thousands keep getting cavities\nis due to diet. If you practice perfect brushing and flossing, you may still\nrun into issues with cavities if your diet consists of: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High Sugar Intake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-5.jpg\" alt=\"Assorted lollipops laying on a table\" class=\"wp-image-922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dev.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-5-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/depositphotos.com\/264046412\/stock-photo-top-view-delicious-multicolored-swirl.html\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sugar is one of the worst things you can put in your body.\nWhile your body loves it for its easy conversion into energy, it\u2019s bad for your\nhealth in more ways than you can count. For dental health, it\u2019s just as popular\nwith bacteria as it is with your taste buds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bacteria need fuel just like we do. And sugar is easily\nconverted into fuel for them too! When you eat sugary foods or drink sugary\ndrinks, some of that sugar remains in your mouth. It sticks to your teeth, is\ntrapped in food pockets or up in your gums. When those sugars remain, bacteria\nhave a feast. And when bacteria feast, they leave behind acidic waste that\nburns through enamel. Your teeth weaken and cavities are formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even worse, when those cavities begin to form, bacteria move\ninside the new cavities. Cavities may seem small to us, but those little spaces\ncan make it nearly impossible for you to brush or floss! That\u2019s why, when you\ndo have a cavity filled, it\u2019s necessary for your dentist to first clean out the\nspace entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acidic Foods\/Drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"579\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-3.jpg\" alt=\"Assortment of citrus drinks in glasses behind sliced citrus fruits\" class=\"wp-image-921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dev.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-3-300x290.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/depositphotos.com\/16234965\/stock-photo-fresh-citrus-juices.html\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need sugar to coat your teeth in damaging acids!\nSome foods are naturally acidic and will damage your teeth the moment they\ncontact. Acidic foods and drinks come in many shapes and flavors, but some of\nthe most common are citrus fruits and related drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In occasional or small amounts, the acid from these foods\nisn\u2019t much cause for concern. But if left on your teeth for long periods of\ntime, they can do significant damage on their own. You can avoid cavity risks\nfrom acidic foods or drinks by drinking water after consuming them. The water\nwill wash away most of the acidic substances, combined with the passive effects\nof saliva, your teeth should be just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to note is to avoid brushing immediately before or\nafter eating or drinking acidic foods. When acids wear at your teeth, they\nbecome more vulnerable. Brushing, while typically beneficial, can potentially\nwear enamel down when your teeth in this weakened state. After around 30 to 45\nminutes, your teeth should be safe to brush and floss as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sodas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"433\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-4.jpg\" alt=\"Cans of soda wet with condensation\" class=\"wp-image-923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dev.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-4-300x217.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/depositphotos.com\/stock-photos\/soda.html?qview=17700393\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last major dietary reason that many people keep getting\ncavities is the increase in soda consumption worldwide<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/dental-care-for-children\/\">. A\nfavorite of children<\/a> and adults, sodas of all types are a major concern for\ndentists working with patients that are susceptible to cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Primarily, sugary sodas introduce staggering amounts of\nsugar into your diet. Like any source of sugar, this means soda directly feeds\nbacteria on your teeth and gums, leading to an increase in acidic attacks and\nallowing bacteria to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, soda is also acidic. So, in addition to fueling\ndamage from bacteria, it also directly erodes the protective enamel on your\nteeth. The combined effect of these two forces is a serious risk to your oral\nhealth. Even diet sodas still retain the eroding acidity, so this is true of all\ntypes of soda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t resist the temptation, dentists can only\nrecommend that you finish your drinks quickly. Sipping at sodas over longer\nperiods of time increases the amount of damage they do. Like citrus drinks,\nfollow up soda with a glass of water and make sure you brush your teeth later\nthat day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Orthodontic Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Orthodontists are dental specialists that help correct\nalignment and development issues with your jaw, teeth and gums. Many people see\northodontists as helping make your smile look nicer. This misses the key\nbenefit of orthodontics: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/benefits-of-healthy-teeth\/\">improved\ndental health.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to all of the other benefits of orthodontic\ntreatment for those who need it, it can also prevent you from a string of\ncavities throughout your life! The most common thing an orthodontist can do to\nhelp you prevent cavities is fixing crooked teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-2.jpg\" alt=\"Young girl being fitted for a retainer due to orthodontic issues\" class=\"wp-image-924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dev.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pointe-dental-group-keep-getting-cavities-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/depositphotos.com\/61179305\/stock-photo-healthy-beautiful-smile-the-child.html\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in the ideal mouth, flossing is the only way to reach\ncertain difficult surfaces. If your oral development lead to orthodontic\nissues, however, you could have even more severe \u201ctraps\u201d in your mouth. These\ntraps are locations where teeth overlap or leave major gaps. In either case, it\nmakes it easier for food, sugars and acids to make their way in or harder for\nyou to clean out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When crooked teeth are corrected, these difficult gaps or\noverlapping areas are reduced, making it easier for brushing and flossing to\nkeep your teeth cavity free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Genetics Play a Role in Why I Keep Getting Cavities?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of articles out there that talk about the\nroles of genetics when it comes to dental health. There aren\u2019t many direct\nconnections between genetics and your likelihood of developing cavities, but\nthere are some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is true that genetics play a role in dental health,\nas they do in everything about you, it\u2019s important to remember that perfect\ndental health is always within your control. Great oral hygiene combined with\nfrequent dentist visits can keep your teeth health for a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the two most notable factors we\u2019re aware of today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enamel Strength<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The core, and only known uncontrollable connection between\ngenetics and cavities is your enamel. The strength of your enamel is slightly\nunique. For all people, enamel is strong enough to defend your teeth,\nespecially when properly cared for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some people will have enamel that\u2019s easier or\nharder for acids and bacteria to break through. This means, to a small extent,\nyou may be more likely to get cavities than someone else who has an identical\noral hygiene routine and diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Predisposition to Sugar <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a friend who just never really cared for\nchocolate, candy or confectionaries? Genetics play a role in your brain\u2019s\npredisposition to sweets and sugars. While environment, location and parenting\nare also key players in this regard, it does mean that some people are more\nlikely to be drawn to eating foods that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/blog\/dental-health-for-kids\/\">more\nlikely to damage their teeth.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, having a sweet tooth doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re\nobligated to indulge. Like anything with your diet, you have control over what\nyou eat, how frequently you eat it and how you care for your teeth afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Need Dental Care?
