Bad dietary habits and poor oral hygiene are main factors for cavities. Brushing twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste in a proper manner and visiting a dentist every 6 months for a check up will avoid new cavities or arrest them as soon as they start.
Next Steps
Getting the existing cavities restored is essential before they become deep and filling is not an option anymore.
