Things You Should Know about Your Mouth
-The mouth already contains the bacteria that cause tooth decay, but the bacteria can only cause damage after sticking to plaque that accumulates between brushings or on poorly maintained teeth.
-The acids produced by bacteria slowly eat through the hard enamel layer of teeth and enter the softer dentin beneath where decay rapidly spreads.
– When you consume foods and beverages high in sugar and carbohydrates, you’re not only feeding yourself — you’re also feeding the plaque that can cause problems in your mouth.
– Your saliva helps counteract tooth decay by washing away food particles, cleaning your mouth and neutralizing the acids attacking your teeth. A healthy diet can also contribute to a healthy smile.
Shoot, so that’s that one suspopes.
