I have tooth decay, if I improve my oral hygiene routine will that prevent cavities?
Q.
Hi,I would like to say that I do not have the greatest teeth due to excessive amount of sugar & poor oral hygiene.I just wanted to know if I brush & floss daily will my cavities be stable?I also am wearing partial dentures at age 27 but I am planning to have full dentures due to my teeth being what it is,do you think thats a good choice.
I am truly undecisive but I hope you can help me.I also want to mention is it okay to eat sweets but brush after wards?

with continued sugar consumption you will still get decay. the oral hygiene may help to slow it down and prevent additional gum problems.
use a fluoride mouthwash at a different time then when you brush and do not rinse out toothpaste after you have brushed.
do not brush for an hour after you have eaten something with sugar inside it.
full dentures at your age will inevitably lead to problems with retention of the dentures whilst eating as you get older and implants may be needed to aid this.
