What is the effect of sugary food on our teeth? How we can prevent it?
Sugary food sticking to our teeth facilitates growth of harmful bacteria which break down the sugars into acids. This acid gradually damage the teeth causing tooth decay. We can prevent tooth decay by brushing our teeth at least twice a day and rinse the mouth after every meal. We must also avoid too much chocolates, sweets or sugar products as they are the major cause of tooth decay.
