Answer:
Young children enjoy drinking fruit drinks with high sugar content, sucked from a bottle with a teat. This habit results in high levels of tooth decay.
Explanation:
The frequent tooth decay in children occurs because of the high quantity of sugar present in drinks.
The sugars are not easily digested as other foods and needs lot of enzyme activity for digestion.
Due to this increased enzyme activity on sugar present in mouth the enamel present on teeth degrades leading to tooth decay.
