Here are some tips to help prevent cavities. Ask your dentist which tips are best for you. Brush with fluoride toothpaste after eating or drinking. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and ideally after every meal, using fluoride-containing toothpaste. To clean between your teeth, floss or use an interdental cleaner..

Tooth decay starts when the pH of the mouth is lower than 5.5. Using toothpastes, which are generally basic, for cleaning the teeth can neutralise the excess acid and prevent tooth decay. The best way to prevent this is to clean the mouth after eating food.

Answer:

Since plaque coats the teeth, saliva can not reach the tooth layer to neutralize the acid. Upon eating brushing the teeth removes the plaque before acids are formed by the bacteria. The primary focus should be on decreasing the bacterial load in the mouth if you want to prevent tooth decay.
