What Causes Tooth Decay?

Tooth decay is caused by plaque bacteria metabolising sugars in food to produce acids. These acids attack tooth enamel, weakening it and causing cavities to develop.

Do I Have Tooth Decay?

Tooth decay does not cause symptoms until the late stages. Decay in the back teeth, on the inner side or in between teeth is often not visible in the mirror at home. Your dentist is best equipped to examine your teeth for decay and may also take X-rays to assist in diagnosis.

Ways to Prevent Tooth Decay

A healthy diet that includes keeping low in sugar, drinking plenty of water and minimising snacks is a great start. Brushing your teeth thoroughly twice a day using a fluoride containing toothpaste and flossing once a day helps to prevent decay. Plus, seeing your dentist for regular checkups is essential to keeping your teeth healthy.
