Dental cavities, also known as tooth decay or caries, are damaged areas in your teeth that develop into tiny holes. They are the result of a complex interplay between bacteria, frequent consumption of sugary foods and beverages, and less-than-ideal oral hygiene practices. Bacteria in your mouth thrive on sugars and produce acids that gradually erode your tooth enamel, the protective outer layer of your teeth. This erosion, if left unchecked, leads to the formation of cavities. Think of it like this: the bacteria are tiny invaders, and the sugar is their fuel, weakening your tooth’s defenses.
