Answer 2

• Bacteria abounds in our mouths. Bacteria can be beneficial. However, some, such as those that contribute to tooth decay, can be dangerous.
• Plaque is a soft, sticky coating formed by bacteria combining with food. Plaque bacteria produce acids from sugar and starch found in food and beverages.
• The acids chip away at your enamel's minerals. Plaque can become tartar with time.
• Plaque and tartar can irritate your gums and lead to gum disease, in addition to causing tooth damage.
• Fluoride may be found in toothpaste, water, and a variety of other places.
• Fluoride, in combination with salvia, aids in the healing of enamel by replenishing minerals.
• Throughout the day, your teeth go through a normal process of losing and acquiring minerals.
