when something sweet sticks to our teeth , it attracts the bacteria which tries to digest it secreting acid in this process . due to some reactions after eating sugar acids are going to be make. these acids starts decaying enamel that's why the pH of mouth falls below 5.5
in order to prevent this we should brush our teeth twice a day as toothpaste is alkaline in nature which will neutralize the acid effect.
