Dental caries is the scientific term fortooth decay or cavities. It is caused by specific types of bacteria. They produce acid that destroys the tooth'senamel and the layer under it, the dentin.
Prevention
The key to the prevention of developing dental caries is oral hygiene. By oral hygiene, it includes regular professional cleaning twice a year, daily brushing at least two times per day, daily flossing, and yearly X-rays. These are necessary to keep the teeth healthy and detect possible cavity development in high-risk areas of the mouth.
Snacking on chewy and sticky foods (such as dried fruit or candy) is not recommended. These foods are best eaten as part of a meal rather than as a snack. Whenever possible, after eating these foods, properly brushing your teeth and rinsing with water are the best ways to prevent dental caries from developing. Additionally, constant sipping of sugary drinks or frequent sucking on candy and mints are also advised against.
