Mainly bacteria. When you eat the food gets stuck on your teeth. The food turns to sugar eventually and the bacteria eat the sugar and your tooth enamel also in the process. That is why eating lots of sweets which are high in sugar is worst than eating normal food because sweets are usually loaded with sugar. Solution to cavities? Always brush right after you eat so the food doesn't have time to turn to the sugar that the bacteria want to eat. Also be sure to floss. The food stuck betwen your teeth won't come out with just brushing. Flossing is critical to not having cavities. So is genetics. Some people are more susceptible to cavities than others. I can't tell you why but I have met people who have never had a cavity in their life while most everyone I know has has them. It's kinda weird to see someone open their mouth and their is no silver fillings, nothing but white.
