The 5 Factors That Actually Cause Tooth Decay
Tooth decay makes a lot more sense once you know what's actually driving it.
This free guide breaks down the 5 factors so you can stop second-guessing and start knowing what to focus on.
Most kids who get decay aren't eating lollies for breakfast. You might be doing everything you've been told and still ending up in the dentist's chair, confused about what went wrong.
The advice most parents receive stops at sugar and fluoride. It's not wrong exactly, but it's incomplete.
What's inside the guide:
Tooth surface and why some teeth are more vulnerable than others
The role of bacteria and what oral microbiome balance actually means
Carbohydrates, not just sugar
How frequency and timing affect decay risk more than most people realise
Host modifying factors, the part of the picture that most advice leaves out
