Incipient is the very first stage of a 🦷 cavity.
It usually presents itself as white chalky spots that if left untreated, can develop into full blown cavities.
🥳 The good news is, when caught early enough, incipient decay CAN BE CONTROLLED!
🦷 Just another reason to keep up with regular checkups and x-rays. These are things your dentist CAN catch early and WILL provide ways to help prevent further decay.
🦷 Dipping floss in fluoride toothpaste is one of many great tips we share with families on a regular basis. Fluoride helps add minerals back into the teeth to strengthen them. The floss pushes the toothpaste between your teeth, to help strengthen vulnerable areas that a toothbrush could never reach!
