These common mistakes can cause tooth cavities

Some people have a sweet tooth and consume sugary and acidic foods. These foods can lead to the formation of cavities by providing a breeding ground for bacteria that produce acids, leading to tooth decay. Eating frequently can also be harmful to teeth as it increases the acidic environment in the mouth, preventing the teeth from repairing themselves. Proper brushing is also crucial. Brushing too fast and for only 30 seconds may not fully clean the teeth, leaving room for bacterial buildup and potential decay. Fluoride in toothpaste strengthens the tooth enamel externally, preventing it from weakening and developing cavities. Some people use toothpaste without fluoride, which can potentially weaken the teeth.
