Dental Caries
Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay or cavities, is a chronic, infectious disease characterized by the breakdown of tooth enamel due to acids produced by bacteria that metabolize sugars, leading to demineralization of tooth structure.

Enamel caries
Enamel caries
Dentin caries
Pulpitis
Periodontitis
Causes of Dental Caries:
- Bacteria in your mouth feed on sugary, starchy foods and drinks (fruit, candy, bread, cereal, sodas, juice and milk). The bacteria convert these carbohydrates into acids.
- Bacteria, acid, food and saliva mix to form dental plaque. This sticky substance coats your teeth.
- Without proper brushing and flossing, acids in plaque dissolve tooth enamel, creating cavities, or holes, in the enamel surface.
Limitations of Medication Therapy
- Inability to Reverse Damage: Once enamel is significantly damaged or a cavity has formed, treatments like fillings can’t restore the tooth fully to its original state.
- Temporary Nature of Fillings: Fillings can wear out over time and may need replacement.
- High Cost and Time-Intensive Procedures: More complex treatments, like crowns or root canals, can be costly and time-consuming.
