What causes cavities or dental decay?

One of the most common dental problems is cavities, or tooth decay. Here are a few things that you could avoid decay of your teeth:

1. Foods and drinks that cling to your teeth
2. If you are snacking frequently during the day, you are more likely to get cavities because the acid sitting on your teeth has more time to cause damage.
3. Some are concerned about public tap water. Public tap water, however, contains fluoride and protects tooth enamel from plaque build-up.
4. Plaque can form near you roots when your gums are receding. These parts of the teeth do not have enamel and are a lot more prone to tooth decay.
