among children in the united states and europe, 60-80% of cases of dental caries occur in 20% of the population.
tooth decay is caused by certain types of acid-producing bacteria which cause the most damage in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose.
the resulting acidic levels in the mouth affect teeth because a tooth's special mineral content causes it to be sensitive to low pH.
depending on the extent of tooth destruction, various treatments can be used to restore teeth to proper form, function, and aesthetics, but there is no known method to regenerate large amounts of toot
instead, dental health organizations advocate preventative and prophylactic measures, such as regular oral hygiene and dietary modifications, to avoid dental caries.
