Yes! Rinsing your mouth REGULARLY after meals does a lot to prevent further cavities. Also a diet high in animal meat and fats (cheese, butter etc.) helps strengthen teeth https://www.healthygoods.com/blogs/news/dr-weston-prices-die...

Not drinking

Rinsing your mouth, like sloshing it around to make sure it gets rid of all the gunk. Maybe flossing too.
