Yes
No, tooth decay is caused by bacterial plaque that produces acids which destroy the tooth enamel. Bacterial plaque results from inadequate oral hygiene (brushing and flossing).
Sugar + Plaque = Acid + Tooth = Decay
There is Sugar Decay. The bacteria in your mouth create a substance called plaque when they feed on the sugar which creates an acid which makes a hole in your tooth, which the plaque then burrow down into to start an infection.
because the less plaque on your teeth means less bacteria and less bacteria using the sugar on your teeth means less acid causing tooth decay
Plaque is various types of bacteria in large quantities. These bacteria metabolize (eat) carbohydrates (sugars) that are in the mouth. The bacteria then produce acids which erode the enamel of the teeth, resulting in tooth decay.
Cavities are caused by the build up of plaque on your teeth. The plaque causes your teeth to decay which in turn blackens the tooth and causes pain in it.
Sugar is food for plaque-residing bacteria colonies. They convert the sugar into acid that corrodes toothenamel, causing tooth decay.
No, they do the opposite by encouraging gum disease and tooth decay.
Yes. Tooth Decay will start as too much Bacteria builds up in a tooth. Bacteria build ups are caused by not taking proper cleaning routines with your teeth
Tooth decay is the process that results in a cavity (dental caries). It occurs when bacteria in your mouth make acids that eat away at a tooth. If not treated, tooth decay can cause pain, infection, and tooth loss. The mixture of bacteria and acids make a sticky substance called plaque which if not treated, can cause your tooth to rot or turn into a yellowish colour.
Plaque forms around the gum line & is not easily removed by brushing alone & becomes harder over time damaging the tooth enamel allowing bacteria to enter the tooth & cause decay. A professional clean is also far more effective at removing tartar and staining, making your mouth look and feel fresh, clean and healthy.
