What can be done to stop dental caries from reaching pulp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prevent caries first: Decrease the amount of acid on your teeth by practicing good oral hygiene, decrease frequency of dietary sugar and increase saliva flow and avoid dry mouth. Prevention is the best medicine when it comes to avoiding more invasive dental procedures.
