How Close are We to a Vaccine to Prevent Cavities?

For those of us afraid of the dentist, the ability to receive a vaccine to protect our teeth from decay and cavities would represent a dream come true. Will this ever become a reality?

– While scientists are experimenting with a potential vaccine, further tests need to be conducted.

– Clinical trials will likely take years.

– Any type of vaccine will not be available for at least five years from the present.

Therefore, take care of your teeth with regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing. Get your teeth cleaned and examined every six months. That’s the best way to prevent cavities.
