Dental cavities

The most common form of oral health problem for people is dental cavities. These can result in the structural damage of the teeth that forms holes. A dental cavity can affect anyone, especially to children. Bacteria that normally live in your mouth produce acid that destroys the enamel of your teeth. Acids, bits of food and other elements such as saliva will form a plaque that usually sticks around the pits and grooves of your teeth, back molars, along the gum line and all the edges of your teeth.

The acids of the plaque create a hole or cavities which would affect the nerves causing for a toothache or tooth fracture. Plaque that is not removed will cause tartar build up. This case would also result in other oral health problems such as inflammation of the soft tissue around the teeth and bad breath.

Maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile can be achieved by proper oral health care such as regular brushing; daily flossing and regular dental check-ups will prevent the occurrence of dental cavities.
