What Causes Holes in Teeth?
There are a few common causes for holes in teeth, including teeth grinding (bruxism) and cavities. However, the main cause of holes in teeth is tooth decay.
According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, 92% of adults 20 to 64 have had dental caries in their permanent teeth.
The human mouth is full of bacteria that create a film over our teeth known as dental plaque. When we consume food and beverages that are high in sugar, the bacteria in plaque break down the sugars in food to create an acid, which essentially creates a hole in the tooth. In the early stages, a cavity is a small hole in the tooth. This cavity will get larger without treatment.
