How to stop tooth decay from spreading
I am a 21-year-old male and I was told by my dentist that one of my teeth has traces of tooth decay. I have to get it resolved ASAP and I was told to follow a stricter oral health. Before I can go into any procedure, how can I stop tooth decay from spreading to other teeth? How can I maintain my oral health better?

Hello,
Its good that your concerned regarding your oral health. As the other doctor suggested you can cut down on sugar intake, maintain a healthy fibrous diet, with proper brushing technique done twice daily and visit to a dentist twice every year. Again do consult your dentist for any diet counselling that might be required or for use of addtional oral hygiene aids such as a floss.
