Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that covers your teeth and gums. It develops constantly and you clean it off every day when you brush your teeth. Certain harmful oral bacteria feed on the sugars you eat to create acids that destroy the tooth enamel.Cavities are a bacterial infection created by acids, that cause your teeth to experience a hole in them.

    The more sugar you eat, the more acid you will create in your mouth, and the more acidic attacks your teeth are exposed to, the higher the risk of developing tooth decay.

    Acid can decalcify and tarnish the tooth enamel,which makes it chalky and triggers cavities.When eating sour pomegranate,sour grape,sour apple,yoghurt and other acid beverage,one shall rinse the mouth frequently in order to keep teeth away from acid environment and protect tooth enamel from being damaged.It is advocated that one shall not brush teeth immediately aftereating food.This is because acidic food can soften the tooth enamel as well as dental health would be damaged.
