How Do We Get Cavities On Our Teeth?
Cavities, also known as tooth decay, are formed by oral bacteria that produce acids as they consume sugars and carbohydrates left behind on the surface of our teeth after eating and drinking, especially if what we consume is high in sugar. The acids erode the hard enamel covering our teeth, creating small holes or cavities, which can then progress deeper into the tooth structure, causing pain and discomfort.
Poor oral hygiene practices, such as improper or irregular brushing and flossing, can allow these bacteria to proliferate and create the ideal conditions for cavity formation.
Other factors that increase the risk of tooth decay include a dry mouth, a lack of fluoride and certain medications.
Cavities are a very common dental problem that can have serious consequences if left untreated.If you spot any discolouration or cavities on your teeth, seek an urgent appointment with one of our skilled dentists to catch the problem at that stage and get the hole cleaned and filled so there is no more damage to that tooth and its surrounding ones.
