People tend to eat alot of sweet foods during the Christmas Holiday season. Everyone has bacteria in their mouth. One of the types of Bacteria eats the sugar from your food. The bacteria then secrete an acid that eats away enamel which is a cavity. Make sure you brush your teeth 3 times a day and floss them 2 times a day to help starve these bacteria. When the bacteria are starved, they can’t secrete the acid that causes cavities. Merry Christmas from Dr. Stevens and his staff
