Answer:

Hey

Explanation:

The most common bacteria associated with dental cavities are the mutans streptococci, most prominently Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, and lactobacilli.

Tooth decay is caused by the presence of a base. Tooth decay is caused by the presence of an acid. When saliva accumulates in the mouth, it decreases the pH in oral cavity making it acidic. Acidic conditions are suitable for growth of bacteria and cause tooth decay.

Answer:

Tooth decay is not caused by base.

Explanation:

It is caused by the presence of acidic substances which are formed due to bacteria. They constantly damage tooth enamel and thus cause tooth decay.
