Hi there !!

Our tooth enamel is made up of Calcium sulphate , which is the hardest substance in our body.
The bacteria present in our mouth acts on the remains of food particles present in our mouth and produces acids.
Acids have corrosive nature. Hence , tooth enamel gets corroded. This happens when the pH of our mouth is less than 5.5
This can be prevented by using bases to neutralize the effect of acid.
One such base is toothpaste , which is used to clean our teeth .
