Hello dear friend !!!

Here is your answer
==================

Tooth enamel is made up of calcium phosphate and is the hardest substance in the body. If the pH inside the mouth decrease below 5.5, the decay of tooth enamel begins which we call tooth decay .


This happens when the bacteria present in our mouth work on the left over food particles and produce acid.


The best way to prevent this is to clean mouth after eating food. To prevent tooth decay, toothpaste are used which neutralizes the excess acid.
