Bread,milk,vegetables,fruits, like just the healthy stuff. will avoiding junk food not give me cavities anymore?

Answer:

All these foods are very healthy. However, as you eat, some of the food remains will be left in your mouth, as it is impossible for every piece of food to go down your stomach. It is still vital to brush your teeth after eating to prevent cavities.

Actually, you don't even need to abstain from junk food to prevent tooth cavities. All you need is to brush your teeth after eating them.

if there is sugar in the bread it will. Get sprouted organic bread that stuff is good. No white bread. Fruits will, they are loaded with sugars. healthy though they may be. Vegetables probobly wont. anything with sugar in it will cause cavities is the rule of thumb. sugars promote tooth decay. So not eating sugars will slow tooth decay and lessen the risk of cavities. This does not mean that they cannot occur by avoiding sugars. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR BRUSHING YOUR TEETH 3 TIMES PER DAY AND FLOSSING.
