If you keep getting cavities despite brushing regularly, your risk factors may need a closer look. At Kreuzer Family Dentistry in Midlothian, we use cavity risk assessments to help tailor prevention to your needs.
Past cavities, eating and drinking habits, oral hygiene, and dry mouth can influence decay risk. Some medications and health conditions also affect your mouth. Understanding these factors helps us recommend practical changes.
We discuss your dental history, daily routine, and any concerns about dry mouth or recurring decay. Dr. Kreuzer considers the exam findings and recommends preventive steps, which may include fluoride, changes to home care, or a different visit schedule.
