Can eating chocolate/sweets further decay the teeth cavity?

I am having a tooth decay and I am worried if eating choco's or sweet can instigate the decay further? What all one should do to avoid further decay?

Can eating chocolate/sweets further decay the teeth cavity?
It doesn't matter what you eat as long a you brush your teeth and tongue immediatly after EVERY meal or snack, and floss. Use listerine too. Get a dental travel kit and carry it with you at all times.
Reply:Chocolates and sweets are loaded with sugars. Sugars and bacteria in your mouth acts as acid on your teeth and cause tooth decay. Drink plenty of water leave out the sweets and pop drinks brush at least twice a day and get the cavities filled.
Reply:If you brush your teeth and floss as you should, chocolate should not be a problem. Sticky candy like taffy or caramel is much worse for your teeth!
Reply:Brush your teeth twice a day and it wouldn't hurt for you to floss too.
Reply:Any type and any amount of sugar can cause the decay to move faster...this includes chocolate and ANY other type of sugar, even if it is a half teaspoon in your coffee or tea. If you completely remove the refined sugars from your diet and have excellent hygiene, you can actually halt the progress of the decay until you get to a dentist. Best of luck.
Reply:decay is nuthing but ... dessication of the food material or bacteria living in your mouth on the left food particles... it's jst the decay of food in your mouth which leads to this, so my advice is that to brush good and floss.. and dun let any food particles remain in there...
