after eating chocolates or sweets, the bacteria present in our mouth act on the sweet particles inside our mouth to breakdown the complex sugars to starch. In this process they release certain acids which corrode the tooth enamel. Thus its important to use toothpaste to brush your teeth as toothpaste contains a basic material which neautralises the acid released and prevents tooth decay

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.
