Tooth Decay

Dental caries, which is commonly referred to as tooth decay, is a disease of bacterial origin where the tooth material is dissolved by the toxins and acid released by the microbes, and it ultimately leads to the formation of a hollow debris-filled cavity in the tooth.

It may range in colour from yellow to black tooth decay in later stages.

Tooth decay in children is also becoming a prevalent problem in the modern era, and they are adopting unhealthy lifestyles and consuming high sugar content food such as candies and chocolates from a very tender age, leading to early tooth decay.
