Tooth enamel is considered the hardest substance in our body. Even a metal is considered hard but if you pour acid on it then even the hardest metals will melt.
Due to excessive eating of sweets and chocolates, the tooth enamel erodes due to presence of acid in the mouth.
To prevent this, brush your teeth after eating these type of food.

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.
