Parents and guardians are advised to help educate their children about the importance of dental hygiene in order to ensure good oral health. A Cavity is a condition responsible for tooth decay and can cause many oral diseases - hence the need of prevention. Children’s dentist Los Angeles recommends a number of approaches to take in order to prevent cavities from forming and causing tooth decay:
