Good Hygiene: The best way to prevent dental decay is to follow good oral hygiene. This means brushing 2 times a day, and flossing once a day. Also avoiding foods and drinks that cause cavities is an important part of prevention... This means soda and candy.

Need to work at it: To prevent cavities you first need good strong teeth. Then you have to have good oral hygiene habits. What you eat affects teeth and even some medicines will affect your mouth and teeth. And even if you have perfect teeth...You still need to go to the dentist....Regularly.
