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.

How are caries treated?
Caries (tooth decay) may be treated several ways, depending on where the decay is located, how extensive the decay is, and whether the tooth is considered 'important' to the patient's quality of life. 1. Small cavity, permanent tooth: Decay is removed, the cavity is shaped, and a plastic or silver material is used to 'fill' the cavity. 2. Large cavity, permanent tooth: The decay is removed, the remaining tooth is 'built up' with a plastic material, this is prepped , and a permanent crown is seated on the tooth. 3. Deep decay, permanent tooth: Same as #2, only a root canal procedure is also performed because the decay has reached the nerve of the tooth. 4. Baby teeth: Similar to 1-3 above, but it depends on how long the tooth is expected to remain in the mouth, importance to chewing, cosmetics, etc.

Explain how reducing the amount of plaque can reduce tooth decay. use the leaflet to help you?
Reducing plaque is important because plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. This bacteria feeds on sugars in the mouth and produces acid that can erode tooth enamel, leading to decay. By reducing plaque through proper oral hygiene like brushing and flossing, the amount of acid that can damage the teeth is minimized, hence reducing the risk of tooth decay.
What causes tooth rot?
Tooth decay (dental caries) is caused by bacteria in plaque on your teeth. When you eat sugars (fermentable carbohydrates) the bacteria process it, and release their by product of lactic acid which eats away at the tooth. Eventually, this can cause the surface to "cavitate" (makes a hole in the tooth), which would require a filling to restore. To prevent decay: 1) brush and floss - (get rid of the bacteria/plaque) 2) avoid or reduce sugars - (they can't produce the acid without the sugar) 3) make the tooth more resistant - (use fluoride, sealant in any grooves likely to develop decay)
What things decay teeth?

Is there any way to brush your teeth without fluoride and still do the job as good?
Sorta, Flouride helps strengthen the tooth, most cities have flouride in the water supply, if you are flossing and brushing well, for two full minutes twice a day to remove the bacteria in plaque that harms the teeth effectively, your chances of tooth decay is less. If you are prone to tooth decay, I would use flouride toothpaste though, and maybe even a flouride after to give you teeth the strength they need to resist decay.
