To prevent any disease, we need to know the underlying causes of the disease. It is also important to know the factors that cause tooth decay in order to prevent it. Many people who go to the dentist cite a question of genetics and gender as to why their teeth are damaged. It is clear that the efficiency of teeth lies in their durability, but there are other factors involved in this matter.
There are many causes of tooth decay, but in general the four main factors of germs, sugars, resistance of the person, teeth and time, play a major role in tooth decay.
These four factors always cause tooth decay, and if any of them are not present, tooth decay will not occur. Without microbes, tooth decay does not occur. If microbes were present and sugars were not present, the severity of caries would not be high. The presence of germs and sugars in people who naturally resist disease cannot cause caries. Finally, germs, sugars, and reduced tooth resistance cannot cause damage to teeth in an instant or a day, but it takes time for them to break down the hard tooth surface.
