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.
