How to Prevent Cavities

________
Note: Cavities, also referred to as tooth decay or dental caries, are holes in the teeth that are caused by decalcification of the enamel (the hard outer coating of teeth) and disintegration of the dentin (the inner part of teeth) by acid-producing bacteria. They can lead to loss of teeth and gum disease, which, in turn, can cause further health problems.
