what causes tooth decay ?
Answers
Explanation:
Tooth decay also occurs when foods containing carbohydrates become trapped between teeth and are not completely removed with brushing and flossing. Major causes of tooth decay are sugary, sticky foods and beverages. The more sugar consumed, the more acid, which gets produced leading to decay.
Answer :-
A number of bacteria are present in our mouth, though not all of them are harmful. However, irregular and improper cleaning of teeth can lead to the growth of several harmful bacteria in our mouth. These bacteria break down the sugar present in leftover food particles and release acids in the mouth, which damage the teeth. This is known as tooth decay.
Tooth decay can occur because of consuming chocolates, sweets, cold drinks, and other sugar products.
Tooth decay can be prevented by maintaining oral hygiene, which includes the proper cleaning of teeth. Teeth must be brushed twice a day after meals using dantun or dental floss.
