Did You Know?
Cavities, or dental caries, are not just common in children — adults are equally at risk. Tooth decay is caused by bacteria in the mouth that thrive on sugars. When these bacteria metabolize sugars, they produce acids that erode the enamel, the tooth’s hard outer layer. If not addressed, this can lead to small holes in the enamel, known as cavities. Over time, without intervention, these cavities can penetrate deeper into the tooth, affecting the delicate nerve tissue and possibly leading to severe pain and tooth loss.
