enamel is the hardest substance in our body
chocolate and sweets are sticky in nature and thus the food particles stay in between the teeth and bacteria acts on them and releases certain chemicals(mild acids) that erodes the enamel and slowly the pulp also gets infected leading to gum problems, bleeding,cavities..
the ways to prevent it are
● eat less sugary and sticky food
● brush and rinse mouth regularly
hope it helps you

Answer:
Sugar present in chocolates and sweets gets broken to acids by bacteria present in the mouth. This lowers the pH in the mouth. Tooth enamel is made up of calcium phosphate, which gets corroded when the pH in the mouth is below 5.5. To prevent tooth enamel from decay, toothpaste is used because it is alkaline and neutralises the acid produced in the mouth and helps to prevent lowering of pH in mouth.
