Description
To beat tooth decay, we need to understand it. Bacteria produce acid as they feed on the carbohydrates (starches and sugars) they find on teeth. This acid eats away at our teeth causing the hollow spaces we call cavities. Everyone can get cavities, but some people are greater risk than others.
Compared to adults, children eat more between meal carbohydrates such as soda pop, chewing gum, milk, candy, fruit, juices, breads and cakes. This regular exposure to sugar, together with their developing hygiene habits, increases their risk for cavities.
Today's on-the-go lifestyle, with so many snacks and sodas, provides cavity-causing bacteria with an almost constant supply of food. This lifestyle also makes it hard to brush after every snack. As a result, many families are losing the battle against tooth decay.
