How to Avoid Teeth Cavities?
Cavities are a common dental problem that occurs due to tiny microbes that live in our mouths. These microbes are acquired as infants from our mothers' mouths and accumulate on our teeth as they erupt. Acid generated by these microbes degrades the enamel over time, leading to the invasion of the dentin layer and causing pain when nerves become exposed. Sugary diets increase the risk of cavities, and even our early human ancestors were at risk due to carbohydrates in their diet. Practicing good oral hygiene and reducing sugar intake can prevent cavities.
