Caries

Dental caries are a disease where bacterial processes damage hard tooth structures leading to their breakdown.


This is due to multiple factors:
- Tooth surface
- Caries-causing bacteria
- Fermentable carbohydrates
- And Time.
Meaning when you eat, bacteria present in your mouth use carbs to fabricate acids responsible for the breakdown of the hard structures of the teeth and this process takes a certain time to reach a level where the decay is visible to the eye. Solution???
