Cavities: If they are small, just beginning you can reverse them with proper home care. Larger cavities require repair, followed by proper home care and usually a change in diet. If you are getting a lot of cavities, you probably have multiple exposures to sugar. You need to limit the frequency of these exposures. Ie its better to chug a big gulp soda than to sip it throughout the day every 10 minutes.
