What is a cavity

Cavities are what happens  to a tooth when we do not take care of our mouth consistently with daily brushing to remove  the acid produced by bacteria in dental plaque. We feed the plaque everyday when we eat, the food combines with the plaque and over time the acid dissolves the tooth’s hard outer surface (enamel). Enamel is the hardest surface in the body. Cavities do not hurt when they are small, you won't even know you have one until  the decay reaches the nerve of the tooth, this is when the problem tooth will require a root canal or extraction if you wait to long to get it looked at.  What is the Causes of Cavities Every time you eat or drink, bacteria in your mouth start to produce acids which dissolves part of the tooth’s enamel. Your saliva helps by washing away excess food and neutralizes the acid. Minerals from the saliva and fluoride can repair the damaged enamel. Frequent snacking between meals on sugary foods and drinks or poor oral hygiene leads to increased acid production by the bacteria.this is what weakens the tooth. The frequent acid production does not give the tooth a chance to recover between meals and weakens the tooth this is how a cavity can develop.For more information go to www.dentalhygiene411.com For a sonic toothbrush www.burstoralcare.com Use Promo code 5ZMZBR for $30 Off I am a burst ambassador so I get credit if you use this code http://www.themagicofph.com/magic
