It\u2019s common knowledge at this point that processed sugars are bad for you and your teeth. We\u2019ll let you in on a little secret\u2026 it\u2019s not about sweetness. Sugar doesn\u2019t just enter your mouth and cause tooth decay in the way that it causes weight gain. Sugars harm lies in the role that it plays in tooth decay \u2013 it\u2019s not a one-man machine.<\/p>
How does it work?<\/h3>
For the record, when it comes to sugar\u2019s effect in tooth decay, it\u2019s not sugar itself that is doing the damage. Rather, it is a series of events that unfold. The mouth is full of bacteria, many kinds of which are actually beneficial to a healthy mouth. That said there is certain bacteria that form together to become plaque and use sugar as a form of energy. As the plaque is fed by the sugar, it creates more plaque, and then begins to grow in size and thickness. Some of the bacteria even turn the sugar into a gluey sort of substance that sticks to the tooth\u2019s surface. By now the tooth is beginning to lose the war, and your saliva has less of a chance of washing away this harmful bacteria. Know what happens next? Cavities form. The acid created from the process of bacteria and sugar meshing together creates holes in your teeth. Without treatment, your cavities can dig deeper into the tooth which is painful and will lead to tooth loss.<\/p>
How do you stop this process from occurring?<\/h3>
