Question

What will happen if we do not clean our teeth regularly?

• A. It will make our teeth strong.
• B. It leads to tooth decay.
• C. It gives the taste of the food for a longer time
• D. You will not be able to smile

Answer 1

The correct option is B

It leads to tooth decay.

When we eat food, the sugar component of it attracts bacteria on our teeth. The bacteria start producing enzymes to digest that sugar and in turn leave behind acids and waste products which remain on our teeth as a layer called plaque. The plaque gives a yellowish colour to our teeth. The acid part even makes the teeth material to dissolve, thereby leading to a tooth decay.
