Have you ever had a little hole in your favorite toy? Cavities are kind of like that, but they happen to your teeth—and we definitely don’t want them there! Let’s learn what they are and how to stop them.
What Are Cavities?
Cavities are tiny holes that form in your teeth when bad germs (bacteria) eat sugar and turn it into acid. This acid slowly eats away at your tooth, making a hole—just like when a sandcastle washes away in the waves! 🌊
Why Are Cavities Bad?
Cavities start small, but they can grow bigger if we don’t take care of them. Here’s why we don’t want cavities:
They can make your teeth hurt—ouch! 😣
If they get too big, you might need a dentist to fix them with a filling.
Too many cavities can weaken your teeth, making it harder to chew yummy food.
How Can We Stop Cavities?
Good news! Cavities are totally preventable if we take care of our teeth. Here’s how:
- Brush every day! Willo makes it easy by cleaning every tooth just right.
- Avoid too much sugar—plaque germs love candy, soda, and sticky snacks!
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks to help wash away food bits.
- Visit the dentist to catch any tiny cavities before they grow.
How Willo Helps
Sometimes, brushing with a regular toothbrush can miss spots, and that’s where cavities start. Willo removes 7x more plaque in hard to reach places than manual brushing, reaching all the tricky places! Fewer cavities and stronger teeth help you keep smiling big! 😁
