Answers of the Quiz
Ans 1 : (a) Acid
Tooth decay occurs when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) are left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth digest these foods, turning them into acids. The bacteria, acid, food debris, and saliva combine to form plaque, which clings to the teeth. The acids in plaque dissolve the enamel surface of the teeth, creating holes in the teeth called cavities, or dental caries.
Ans 2 : (e) All of the above
Be aware of the sugars in the foods you eat. Sugary foods, drinks, candies and gums increase acid production by the bacteria that cause cavities. The longer and more frequently that sugars and acids stay in your mouth, the greater the risk of decay. Drink sodas, sports and energy drinks through a straw and rinse your mouth with water when you’re done to get rid of lingering sugars and acids. Clinical studies show that regular use of gums and mints containing Xylitol, a natural sweetener, may help reduce cavities
