Tooth decay, whichis also called dental cavities or dental caries, is the destruction of outer surface(enamel) of a tooth. Decay results from the action of bacteria that live in plaque, whichis a stick, withis film formed by a protein in saliva (mucin)and sugary substances in the mouth. The plaque bacteria sticking to tooth enamel use to the sugar and starch from food particles in the mouth to produce acid.
