Hey mate...

(a) The name of the compound 'X' is calcium Phosphate.
(b) After we eat sweets , Bacteria present in the mouth produces acids by degradation of sugar and food particles remaining in the mouth after eating.
The best way to prevent this is by cleaning the mouth after eating sweets or any item. Using toothpastes which are generally basic , for cleaning the teeth can neutralise the excess acid present in our stomach and prevents tooth decay.
