What is tooth decay caused by? Explain how it occurs.
Answers
Fluoride is a naturally occurring element known to prevent tooth decay when ingested or applied to teeth as a topical solution. It is one of the best ways to protect teeth and maintain oral health as fluoride can help reduce the number of cavities in teeth. The acid in plaque leads to mineral loss in the tooth (demineralisation), which leads to tooth decay. The formation of cavities, however, can be reversed by remineralisation, or the deposit of minerals on damaged areas of the tooth. Application of topical fluoride can speed up this restoration of lost minerals.

Explanation:
Cavities are permanently damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes.
