Whenever you eat something sweet the food particles get stuck between your teeth . So the bacteria present in your mouth reacts with the food particles and produces acid which corrodes the tooth enamel . So to prevent the tooth decay we use a toothpaste that acts like a base and neutralizes the acid produced , thus preventing tooth decay .

Answer 2

Sweet tooth leads to tooth decay. Which is caused by the action of Bacteria on food particles remaining in the mouth and acid is formed.

The pH of the mouth falls below 5.5 and the tooth enamel dissolves resulting in cavities.

Toothpastes are generally basic, they neutralise the excess acid produced in the mouth and prevent tooth decay.
