Tooth decay is a disease of the tooth in which its tissue is destroyed and a cavity forms. It is easy to recognize its signs:
As the enamel and dentin deteriorate, the tooth becomes more sensitive. It reacts painfully to temperature and taste stimuli. There may also be an unpleasant rotten breath odor. Aesthetic problems arise, the patient does not want to open his mouth wide, smile so that others do not see the diseased teeth.
If caries is left untreated, the disease will affect the pulp, the fibrous connective tissue underneath the layers of enamel and dentin. It contains many nerve endings, so the pain will become worse. Over time, the tooth will completely collapse.
There may also be complications:
Cavities contribute to the onset and development of sore throat, sinusitis, gastrointestinal diseases, and worsen the condition of the skin on the face.
Several types of the disease are distinguished.

The disease is caused by bacteria. They produce acids that leach calcium and fluoride from the tooth tissue, a process called demineralization. Decay is especially common in areas that are difficult to clean. Plaque builds up there and provides a breeding ground for bacteria.
