When we consume excessive sugar in food or drinks and do not clean our teeth properly, this leads to a plague in our mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Plaque attacks- <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the tooth&#8217;s outer enamel, there are minerals. The acid of plague removes it. This causes a tiny opening in the enamel of the tooth. When the area of enamel is damaged, it reaches another deeper level called dentin. This layer can quickly decay by the acid.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eradication continues- <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">once the plague is developed, it continues to damage our teeth. The pulp inside the tooth becomes swollen and gets irritated by the bacteria.
