Tooth decay destroys the enamel of your teeth — the hard, outer, protective layer. This can especially be a problem in children, adolescents, as well as adults. Plaque, which is a sticky film of bacteria, consistently and constantly attacks your teeth. In conjunction with eating foods or drinking beverages that are high in sugars, an invasive bacteria in plaque will produce detrimental acids that will relentlessly attack your tooth enamel. The resilient stickiness of plaque will keep these acids in contact with your teeth and over time your enamel will continuously break down.
