What is dental caries?


🦷Dental caries, often referred to as tooth decay or cavities, is a prevalent condition that arises when oral bacteria generate acid, leading to the breakdown of the enamel and dentin of the teeth.

🦷The main culprit behind caries is the bacteria in the mouth that convert sugars and refined carbohydrates into acid.

🦷Common symptoms of caries include tooth pain and sensitivity, particularly when consuming hot or sweet foods and beverages.
