Which acid causes tooth decay?
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 8 months ago

A bacterium in our mouths called Streptococcus mutans converts sugar to lactic acid, which eats tooth enamel. Acidic drinks eat away at your tooth enamel, the outer layer of your teeth. This erosion puts your smile at risk of cavities. As the enamel erodes, you may experience tooth sensitivity, be prone to cavities and even experience some discoloration.
