Dental caries are also known as a cavity, which is formed in the teeth damaging it from the inside. When you eat a lot of sugary or high-carb foods and don't keep your mouth clean, bacteria will be able to attack your teeth. When this attack is consistent, minerals are constantly replenished through mineral-rich saliva and fluoridated water and toothpaste.

Additionally, fluoride, calcium and phosphate also help to remineralize enamel and when the demineralization starts and is confined to the outermost layer of enamel, it is called a cavity or caries.

How To Stop Cavity Growth?

You can say that cavity formation is kind of a natural phenomenon, more or less formed with aging. But if you take a few precautions like regularly brushing your teeth, especially at night before going to bed and avoid excessively sugary foods or highly carbonated drinks which attract the bacteria causing the cavity in your teeth.
