It rots them, causing cavities, and eventually if left untreated will make your teeth fall out, which is why it is important to not eat or drink too much sugar, and to brush your teeth at least twice a day.

AnswerSugar, as do all foods, feed bacteria. These bacteria feed on the sugar and other foods and generate acidic compounds. These are what attack the teeth, breaking down the enamel coating and causing cavities.
The sugar (especially sticky candy) sticks to your teeth eating away your enamel with the bacteria causing dental caries\cavities\tooth dacay
when sugar meets your teeth, the acid producing bactiria eats away tour teeth turning into plaque and then to cavities that will need tooth decay theropy(cavity fillings)

∙ 11y agoLike ants at a picnic, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, breaking it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis (say: jin-juh-vi-tis), which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore. Your gums are those soft pink tissues in your mouth that hold your teeth in place. If you don't take care of your teeth, it won't be long before cavities and unhealthy gums make your mouth very, very sore. Eating meals will be difficult. And you won't feel like smiling so much.

It helps a lot when you floss and stimulate to use ACT mouth rinse . . . it has germ killers in it, among other helpful things.
