Not only SUGAR causes CAVITIES


   People think it's just SUGAR that causes tooth decay, sorry to burst your bubbles, it's not just sugar that causes it.

Cavities occur when bacteria produces acids in the mouth. The process can begin by any carbohydrates (or food that contains carb) that you consume.

 Sugar, fruits, vegetables, rice, yam, plantain, bread, etc can all cause cavities if good dental care is not practiced.

To reduce tooth decay, one should not only practice good dental care but also limit intake of acidic food.

Stay healthy!
