Round of applause for saliva! It’s your mouth’s built-in defense system that helps wash away food particles, fights bacteria, and even protects against tooth decay. Hydration is key to keeping saliva flowing, so be sure to drink enough water, especially after eating meals or sugary snacks.

Short answer: No. Brushing your teeth removes plaque and bacteria, which can help prevent more damage. However, it can't fix the enamel or fill the hole left by a cavity. If you suspect that you have a cavity, please contact our office at 705-788-0404 to schedule an appointment. We will provide you with the necessary evaluation and treatment options.
