Caries is known damage to the surface of the teeth caused by the action of oral bacteria. When oral care is inadequate or inadequate, small openings or holes appear in the tooth enamel, which gradually become larger and penetrate into the pulp of the tooth.
These dental erosions are due to the formation of a bio-film on the enamel surface. Bacteria that live in the mouth feed on leftovers, releasing acids that damage this most superficial layer of the teeth.
Consumption of sugary drinks and foods and poor dental hygiene are some of the factors that most influence the formation of cavities. If left untreated, they can spread and affect the deeper layers of the tooth, causing severe pain, infections and even tooth loss.
