Other dental caries - what does this mean
Other dental caries is a type of tooth decay that is caused by the bacteria in the mouth breaking down the enamel and dentin of the tooth. this type of decay can occur when there is an imbalance in the oral environment, such as when the mouth is too dry or when there is an excessive amount of sugar or other fermentable carbohydrates in the diet. poor oral hygiene can also contribute to the development of other dental caries.
What happens during the disease - other dental caries
Other dental caries is a type of tooth decay caused by bacterial activity in the mouth. this type of caries is caused by a combination of poor oral hygiene, a high sugar diet, and a lack of fluoride exposure. bacteria in the mouth feed on the sugar and produce acid which erodes the enamel of the teeth. over time, the enamel becomes weakened and more susceptible to further damage, leading to cavities and other dental caries.
