Cavity prevention refers to practices that stop tooth decay, including regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and getting routine dental checkups and cleanings. Dentists and hygienists also use treatments like fluoride varnish and dental sealants to protect vulnerable tooth surfaces, especially in children. It's a core focus of preventive dentistry aimed at avoiding painful, costly restorative procedures like fillings and root canals.
