There
is often a layer of dental plaque on the surfaces of our
teeth, which is filled with bacteria.
Every time we eat and drink
Food + Bacteria = Acid
Acid attacks our tooth surfaces.
Saliva can reduce acid attack towards our teeth but it must have enough time to work.
If we are eating and drinking frequently, saliva will not have enough time to work. Therefore, the chances for acidic attacks are increased, and dental caries can occur.
