Taking care of your teeth!
Question: Taking care of your teeth
I know they say that you are meant to brush twice a day to protect your teeth from cavities, but there are times where I only manage to do it once a day!. Is this really bad!?
I don't eat sugary foods excessively, but they are not completely eradicated from my diet either!. I'm going to visit the dentist after nearly 2 years now to get a check-up!.
Am I going to need fillings!? I have three already and don't want to get anymore!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with Kayla, you may have a cavity, but most likely not if you are brushing and flossing daily!. If you do have a cavity when you go in then make sure you ask your hygienist to refresh you on correct brushing and flossing techniques!. Sometimes people brush a lot but aren't doing it correctly or for a long enough amount of time (at least 2 minutes)!. Make sure you are angling your toothbrush correctly and not brushing too hard!. Definitely ask your hygienist to make a few suggestions if you need to improve- that's what we're here for- prevention! Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you have cavities then yes you will need fillings, you dont want them to get any worse!. They recommend you brush twice a day, but to be honest I think most people only do it once!. Just make sure you start flossing if you dont already!. That will help also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
There is a possibility you may need fillings, but I don't think you will!. Since you do at least brush your teeth, I doubt you have any cavities to deal with!. I could be wrong, but that's my take on the subject!
Good luck!.
