The American Association for Dental Research and International Association for Dental Research have long been collaborating to disseminate ways of preventing tooth decay. They educate people of how proper oral hygiene methods of brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, regular dental checkup, sealant treatment, flossing, eating nutritious meals, and limiting in-between meals will always be indispensable.

Dental researchers have recently discovered how bacteria which attack teeth, stick themselves to enamel. This new information could bring significant benefits to increase public's knowledge on eliminating harmful effects of tooth decay-causing bacteria (Streptococcus mutans). Aside from this, they are also in process of developing vaccines against tooth decay and discovering other new methods on targeting and killing decay-causing bacteria.

Other tooth decay treatments, i.e., dental implants, Healozone gas blast (blast that triggers saliva to fix teeth naturally), and squirting genetically modified bacteria that will not produce decay acid, are also being developed. The use of fiber optics and fluorescence methodologies is also being considered to possibly detect tooth decay much sooner than x-rays and visual inspections can.

These advancements in treating dental cavities are evidences of increasing attention to oral care. But relying mainly on these discoveries does not guarantee complete disappearance of tooth decay from list of most common global health problems. Further improvements on tooth decay treatment entails expanded dental care education, early interception of poor oral hygiene habits, greater parental involvement in children's dental health and appreciating how priceless a confident smile is.
