Dental cavities and its causes

A dental cavity is a medical problem that happens by the destruction and demineralization of teeth, due to the acid produced by bacterial action on the food residues. The principal cause of dental cavities is the action of bacteria on the food residues, specifically the carbohydrates stuck between the teeth.

This happens when the tooth surface is exposed, or if the bacteria present in the mouth are not cleaned after eating carbohydrate-rich food. It then stimulates the bacterial action on the food debris present in the mouth.

The symptoms of dental cavities

The formation of dental cavities is a long process, without any clear indicators at the early stages. If the dental cavities are not treated on time, then they may lead to pus formation and tooth infections. The various symptoms of dental cavities can be listed as follows

• The appearance of white chalky spots on the teeth surface - This happens due to the demineralization process of the ongoing bacterial action.
