Did your tooth suddenly start hurting? It could be a sign you have a cavity. While you might not be thrilled with the idea of having to go to the dentist for this little inconvenience, it’s very important that you have it taken care of before it worsens.

That’s why it’s so important to come in for an exam and cleaning at least twice per year. If you’re looking to be proactive and want to avoid some of the most cavity-inducing foods and drinks, here are some to look out for:
