What's the drill?

The science feature I'm writing is all about teeth, dentistry, and just oral health in general. While I am writing to explain some scientific ideas in simple terms, I also hope to create an urgency to keep one's teeth clean and to see a dentist on a regular basis. I will keep the article informative with little to no bias and try to focus on fact more than anything else. While oral hygiene is a relatively broad topic, I hope to cover these areas:

What is a cavity and how does one form?
Why should a dentist be seen routinely?
How are cavities fixed?
What happens if a cavity is allowed to continue growing?
History of restorative dentistry.
Future of restorative dentistry.

Because dentistry is a topic which makes some people uncomfortable, I will be using informal language in order to convey ideas. I want it to feel like a small group conversation. The paper will have three distinct sections with a subtitles separating the flow of thought since the sections will be distinct.
