| Tooth Decay is the gradual breakdown of the tooth’s enamel & interior tissue that can cause cavities & eventually the death of the tooth. A main cause of tooth decay is due to a build up of plaque. The bacteria in the plaque consume sugar from food residue in the mouth & excrete Lactic Acid, which becomes a part of the plaque layer. If plaque isn’t removed, the acid dissolves the tooth’s enamel and inflames the gum tissue. |
