Microorganisms. Plaque.
Dental plaque is a thin layer of soft, whitish coloration that develops on tooth surfaces in areas difficult to clean (grooves, pits or interdental faces) and which consists, inter alia, by a lot of germs. It forms when we stopped cleaning the teeth for a few days or not doing things right. In addition to these germs is composed of some proteins from saliva. Among all the germs there are some, like the so-called Streptococcus mutans that is responsible for causing cavities.
If we add to this movie Carbohydrate get “food” right to grow so unstoppable. These germs fed sugars mentioned (carbohydrates) produce acidity in the medium capable of demineralized enamel and damage, causing a progressive cavitation in the dental tissues. That is, damage and pierce the enamel. If you detect demineralization the time we make a reversible process with a fluorine-based treatment, they get re-mineralize the enamel and thus reinforce it. To do this we must keep very clean teeth.
