Tooth Decay: Caused by corrosive acid produced by bacterial activity on plaque and food in and around the teeth. The acid breaks down the protective enamel structure causing it to become softened or demineralized. Bacteria penetrate these soft areas of the teeth and like microscopic "termites" set to work destroying healthy teeth until it decays completely. This process if caught early can be stopped, or repaired with fluoride therapy or fillings. A combination of tooth decay and gum disease totally destroys the health of our mouth and eventually our body's immune system. You must make every effort to keep your health under control with routine check up and maintenance. Your health is the most valuable asset you have that will last you a lifetime. |
