What is Tooth Decay?

Tooth Decay usually does not cause symptoms until you have a cavity or an infected tooth. A toothache is the most common symptom of Tooth Decay. The combination of bacteria and food causes tooth decay. A clear, sticky substance called plaque that contains bacteria is always forming on your teeth and gums. As the bacteria feed on the sugars in the food you eat, they make acids. The acids attack the teeth for 20 minutes or more after eating. Over a period of time, these acids destroy tooth enamel, resulting in Tooth Decay. Tooth Decay is the process that results in a cavity (dental caries). It occurs when bacteria in your mouth make acids that eat away at a tooth. If not treated, tooth decay can cause pain, infection, and tooth loss. You can easily prevent Tooth Decay by brushing and flossing your teeth regularly, seeing your dentist for teeth cleaning and checkups, and avoiding foods those are high in sugar.

Tamir Goren "When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering. After an excessive research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
