New Virus Causes Sudden Increase in Tooth Decay
There is a respiratory virus going around that causes sudden periodontal problems (ie, RECEDING GUM LINE), and the very sudden appearance of many DENTAL CAVITIES in the mouth, even in people with excellent oral hygiene habits.
I caught this virus, and my previously perfect oral health plummeted within a matter of months. Many friends and family members who also caught the same virus had exactly the same sudden onset of dental caries and peritonitis.
There is currently an epidemic of tooth decay in children. This new virus may be responsible fro this epidemic, at least in part.

Mechanism Of Viral Decay
The mechanism for tooth decay caused by this new virus is probably connected to its immunosuppressive nature, which thus allows oral bacteria to proliferate more, and thereby create dental cavities and erode the gum line, leading to periodontitis. Also this viral infection may increase levels of matrix metalloproteinases such as MMP-9, or neutrophil elastase, which can undermine gum connective tissue, thus further promoting periodontitis.

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.

Among the options given—strep throat, tooth decay, and tetanus—none of these are caused by a virus. Strep throat is caused by bacteria (Streptococcus), tooth decay is often due to bacterial activity, and tetanus is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. Therefore, none of the mentioned conditions is viral in nature.

All decay is bacterial (except when the term is used metaphorically, as in social decay).
