Bunches of bacterial living in your mouth eat the sugar and secrete acids which corrode the enamel. It's not the sweets that do the damage, but the bacteria.

Why do sweets make your jaw ache?

I actually asked my chemistry professor this!! It hurts because when you eat food, particularly sweets, the food/sweets become acidic with your saliva and eats away at the enamel. And usually, people who eat a lot of sweets usually feel this pain because the enamel is worn thin (or sometimes its thinned from hard brushing or poor nutrition) and the food/sweets is eating away at the dentin, and later becomes a cavity.
