Solution

Dental caries, also known as tooth decay or cavity, is bacterial in origin that causes the demineralization and destruction of the hard tissues of the teeth.This is due to the production of acid by bacterial fermentation of food debris accumulated on the tooth surface. By brushing the teeth regularly, the formation of these acids can be prevented.
