Answer:

  • Dental Caries or tooth decay causes gradual softening of enamel and dentine.
  • It begins when bacteria acting on sugars produce acids that softens or demineralises the enamel.
  • Masses of bacterial cells together with food particles stick to the teeth to form dental plaque.
  • Saliva cannot reach the tooth surface to neutralise the acid as plaque covers the teeth.
  • Brushing the teeth after eating removes the plaque before the bacteria produce acids.
  • If untreated, microorganisms may invade pulp, causing inflammation and infection.
