Known as bottle cavities, bacterial plaque action may begin with the eruption of the first baby teeth in an infant. It is a disease associated with frequent sugar intake and is mainly associated with the bad habit of sleeping with the bottle in the mouth. This type of damage to the tooth enamel can occur in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years.
In older children, as discussed above, cavities are caused by a combination of several factors:
The presence of acid-producing bacteria in the mouth.
Tooth enamel susceptibility.
Consuming foods rich in carbohydrates such as sweets, sugary drinks, and others.
Oral hygiene quality.
All this can cause an ideal condition for the proliferation of bacteria that produce acids that wear away tooth enamel.
