Which will decay a tooth the quickest soda or water?
A tooth will decay faster in soda because of the acid content that dissolves the tooth. In water, which is PH neutral, the tooth shouldn't decay at all.
What is the alkali acid in tooth paste?
Apparently it's "Linoleic" acid, or LA. LucyH
Is tooth paste alkine?
yes it neutralises the acid on your teeth to prevent tooth decay
(now the caries equation:?
Sugar + Plaque = Acid + Tooth = Decay
Is tooth decay caused by bacteria that realises the acid into you mouth?
It is primarily from acid produced by bacteria.
Where does the acid that causes tooth decay come from and how can you prevent it?
Bacteria that populate the mouth metabolize simple carbohydrates (sugar) and produce the acid that causes tooth decay. Reducing the bacteria by effective and frequent brushing and flossing can reduce tooth decay. Limiting intake of sugar will also reduce decay. There is also a growing body of research that indicates xylitol as a sugar substitute may also be effective in reducing tooth decay.
Is another word for decay.?
Rot and decomposition are words for decay. Another word for tooth decay is cavity. Cavities happen as a result of the production of acid by bacterial fermentation of food debris accumulated on the tooth surface.
Is toothpaste have most acid or most basics?
Toothpaste has fluoride which affects the bacteria that cause tooth decay, but its primary action is to incorporate into the tooth structure (enamel and dentin) making the tooth more resistant to acid attack by decay-causing bacteria. It actually repairs (remineralizes) the tooth enamel that gets damaged by the acid producing bacteria present in almost everyone's mouth.
How does alkaline mouthwash help fight tooth decay?
Bacteria uses acid to eat away at teeth. Alkali neutralizes acid that dissolves teeth and also serves as a cleansing agent. Thus, teeth stay cleaner and avoid more damage with toothpaste.
Is tooth paste an acidic or an alkaline paste?
Is Toothpaste A AAcid or A Alkanline Or neurtral ?It is a alkali
Eating sugar in meal time helps reduce tooth decay?
Sugar is food for plaque-residing bacteria colonies. They convert the sugar into acid that corrodes toothenamel, causing tooth decay.
How does gaging after eating make you have tooth decay?
When you gag, this causes the teeth and gums to be touched by stomach acids. The acid causes the teeth enamel to wear away thus causing tooth decay.
