When common food such as milk and child food products are used and tooth/oral cavity not brushed or cleaned, these substances are left to remain on the teeth for prolonged time or period – over the entire night. Bacteria’s utilize the sugar as a medium for growth and in the process excrete acids that attack the hard tissues of teeth causing the removal of calcium. This leads to dental caries or the dental decay. [/vc_column_text][vu_heading style=”1″ heading=”Why decay occurs?” subheading=”” alignment=”left” custom_colors=”” class=””][vc_column_text]
