Reply:Rotten teeth. Too much tooth decay leaves you toothless and there's no such thing as not enough tooth decay.
Reply:Tooth decay is another name for a cavity, your tooth is decaying away! There is no such thing as not enough tooth decay as you don't want any tooth decay! But if you have too much then your teeth could fall out and you could require a lot of dental work. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day and seeing your dentist every 6 months will prevent tooth decay. Good luck!
Reply:Tooth decay, which is also called dental cavities or dental caries, is the destruction of the outer surface (enamel) of a tooth. Decay results from the action of bacteria that live in plaque, which is a sticky, whitish film formed by a protein in saliva (mucin) and sugary substances in the mouth. The plaque bacteria sticking to tooth enamel use the sugar and starch from food particles in the mouth to produce acid.
Reply:Tooth decay is the rottening of the tooth. It is usually caused by eating/drinking sugary/sweet things and not brushing your teeth.
Reply:Tooth decay is bad. Ever heard a about a toohbrush and some paste?
Reply:tooth decay is the slow destruction of the tooth subatance by bacteria. till a stage a tooth decay is reversible. that stage can usually be detected by a dentist and regular dental checkup can hence prevent dental decay. this stage we can call ur not enough decay but it has to be rectified as soon as possible by good oral hygiene and use of a flouridated toothpaste. if a person is more prone to dental decay then sweets are to be restricted and a flouridated mouthwash can also be recomended.

Reply:Sugars and starchy foods produce the most acids in the mouth. The longer these foods stay in the mouth, the more they can damage the teeth. Snacking on sugary foods can lead to tooth decay because most people don't brush after snacks.Try out http://useinfo-dentalcare.blogspot.com/ for more details.
