If you are talking about the sugar used to make treats, then yes. I don't know about the sugar your body provides.

Why do foods that are high in sugar cause so much tooth decay?

It is said that all types of sugar can cause How_does_sugar_cause_tooth_decay. The most expected sugars to give tooth decay are sucrose, glucose, fructose, and maltose. Bacteria use the energy in the sugar and then make acids which attack teeth and tooth enamel. This then causes tooth decay, which is also known as dental caries. Bacteria in also found in dental plaque and that stick to our teeth, also causing tooth decay.

Anything with sugar can cause caries (decay). Sugar combines with bacteria in your mouth and saliva and becomes acidic. It causes enamel loss and decay. Sugar is the leading cause of tooth decay. In addition, the carbonation in such beverages can wear away tooth enamel.

Which soda decay teeth faster?

Soda (sweet soft drinks) do not decay teeth unless one fails to brush and floss. So the decaying of teeth is caused not by sugar per se, but by poor dental hygiene. On the other hand, if you do not consume sucrose (table sugar) at all, then it's unlikely that you'll develop cavities in your teeth, whether you brush and floss or not. The likelihood of developing cavities in the teeth (assuming you don't brush and floss), all other things being equal, would be proportional to the amount of sugar in the beverage. (I'm not going to delete the answer above but add onto it.) Soda by itself doesn't decay your teeth, but the sugar within does. When sugar enters your mouth, your bacteria turns it into acid. This acid decays the enamel on your tooth over time. Brushing your teeth will help, but will not get rid of it completely. This all can lead to a cavity, overall tooth decay, or the decay of a dental nerve. (which is painfull!) A lot of other things have sugar in them, not just soda, but many sugary soft drinks are main contributors. Citric acids in oranges and lemons can contribute, too.p this is not really true because all pops are bad for you so this should not be on hear is a LIE

Nursing bottle tooth decay is caused when a baby is put to bed or falls asleep with a bottle in his/her mouth.

This is also true about juice and kool aid...NEVER put your baby to bed with a bottle...the damage can also effect their permanent teeth!
