Why do kids get cavities?

Cavities are caused by a bacterial infection knows as "caries"

Caries is the No.1 disease children are facing in the United States according to the CDC

Brushing and flossing alone may not stop the caries infection

To prevent cavities, you must create an oral environment that makes it difficult for infectious cavity-causing bacteria to survive

Brushing and flossing alone may not be enough to prevent decay

Stop the infection with new fluoride, xylitol, and alkaline pH+ dental products

Acidic bacteria cause tooth decay

Keeping a neutral or alkaline pH in the mouth can prevent acidic bacterial growth

New dental products with alkaline pH, xylitol, and fluoride are now available
