An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Make sure that you store dvds in its proper case to avoid scratches. In case you see a small scratch, fix it right away. Make sure to clean it first with a detergent or liquid soap or you can also use rubbing alcohol. Try to play the DVD if it worked. Usually, this does the trick. But if it didn’t, you can go to any computer store or office supplies store/electronics store and ask them any DVD polisher. Don’t hesitate to ask for any suggestions to recover your data just in case it failed.
