How Tooth Decay Secretly Destroys Your Teeth 😳🦷

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your body, but even it has a weak spot, and tooth decay often begins without you noticing. It starts when sugar and food residue build up on the teeth, creating a sticky

layer that attracts billions of bacteria. These bacteria feed on carbohydrates and release acid that slowly eats away the minerals protecting your enamel. At first, the damage may appear as a

small white spot, an early warning sign of decay that many people ignore. But once the enamel weakens and breaks, bacteria can move deeper into the tooth. The structure begins to deteriorate, forming a dark cavity that spreads

faster over time. As the decay reaches the inner layers, bacteria attack the pulp, the living center of the tooth filled with nerves and blood vessels. This is when severe throbbing pain begins, a sign that the

nerve may already be infected or dying. Don't wait until the pain becomes unbearable. Early treatment can save your tooth and protect your smile. Book your dental checkup today at Oaks
