Question

write about TOOTH DECAY, please?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer mate!!!

Explanation:

Tooth decay (dental caries) is damage to a tooth that can happen when decay-causing bacteria in your mouth make acids that attack the tooth’s surface, or enamel. This can lead to a small hole in a tooth, called a cavity. If tooth decay is not treated, it can cause pain, infection, and even tooth loss.

People of all ages can get tooth decay once they have teeth—from childhood through the senior years.

Young children are at risk for “early childhood caries,” sometimes called baby bottle tooth decay, which is severe tooth decay in baby teeth.

Because many older adults experience receding gums, which allows decay-causing bacteria in the mouth to come into contact with the tooth’s root, they can get decay on the exposed root surfaces of their teeth.

Answer 2

Explanation:

tooth decay is the rotting and damaging of teeth and formation of cavity or holes in it by the acids released due to breakdown of sugar in leftover food in our mouth. The tooth is covered by white, hard outer covering called enamel .There are many bacteria present in our gums but they are not harmful to us but if we do not clean our teath after eating,many harmful bacteria also begin to live and grow in our mouth. These bacteria breakdown the sugars present from the leftover food and release acids.these acids gradually damage the tooth .This is known as tooth decay.
