To become a dentist, you typically need to complete a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. This requires completing a four-year undergraduate program, often with a focus on sciences like biology or chemistry, followed by four years of dental school. After earning your DDS or DMD, you must also pass national and state licensing exams to practice dentistry.

To prevent cavities, brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and maintain a healthy diet by limiting sugary foods and drinks. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are also essential for keeping your teeth cavity-free.

It's recommended to visit the dentist for a check-up every six months. Regular check-ups allow your dentist to monitor your oral health, catch any potential issues early, and provide professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. However, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits if you have specific oral health concerns, such as gum disease or a history of cavities.
