Cavities in Kids & Toddlers—The Quick Scoop
About 1 in 4 kids ages 2–5 have cavities. Why? Tiny teeth + sugars and starches (think juice, crackers, cereal, candy, milk) = bacteria that make acids. Add food, saliva, and plaque together and boom—a cavity can form, especially if brushing isn’t happening regularly.

Toddlers are especially cavity-prone because their enamel is thinner, they’re still learning to brush, and sugary snacks or bedtime bottles can sit on teeth too long.

How to Fight Cavities Like a Superhero

• Brush twice a day for 2 minutes
• Floss daily
• Limit sugary snacks & drinks
• Skip bedtime bottles with milk or juice

These simple habits help your little one avoid pediatric fillings and set them up for awesome lifelong oral health.
