Who Is At Risk For Cavities? |
|
Answer» Because we all carry BACTERIA in our mouths, everyone is at risk for cavities. Those with a diet high in carbohydrates and sugary foods and those who live in communities without fluoridated water are likely candidates for cavities. And because the AREA around a RESTORED PORTION of a tooth is a good breeding ground for bacteria, those with a lot of fillings have a higher chance of developing tooth decay. Children and senior citizens are the two groups at HIGHEST risk for cavities. Because we all carry bacteria in our mouths, everyone is at risk for cavities.
