is a Dental Cavity"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simmonsyoung.com\/PediatricDentalBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cavity-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-253\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cavity or dental caries is nothing more than a hole that\nhas formed in the tooth by dissolving an area of the outer layer: enamel.&nbsp; Enamel is the second hardest compound on\nearth, second only to diamonds.&nbsp; A cavity\ncan form when three things are present: a tooth, food and bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, a tooth must be present for a cavity to form.&nbsp; I promise I am not trying to sound silly, but\nbabies could have the bacteria and eat food, and not get cavities because there\nis not a tooth for the bacteria to attach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondly, food must be present for cavities to form.&nbsp; Certain foods can lead to cavities more frequently\nthan others.&nbsp; Foods that are high in\nprocessed sugars, such as candies, starches, and fruit juices, are more easily\nprocessed by the bacteria that live in our mouths.&nbsp; Foods that are less likely to create cavities\nare things such as cheese, nuts, and apples.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thirdly, bacteria or \u201csugar bugs\u201d as I call them, must be\npresent for a cavity to form.&nbsp; The mean\nsugar bug\u2019s name is <em>Streptococcus mutans<\/em>.&nbsp; <em>S. mutans<\/em> can adhere to teeth and if\nleft to his own devices, can produce an acidic byproduct that can breakdown the\nprotective enamel exposing the softer dentin below.&nbsp; <em>S. mutans<\/em> loves starchy foods because\nit is easier for them to breakdown.&nbsp; And\nguess what its byproduct is.&nbsp; That\u2019s\nright!&nbsp; Acid. &nbsp;<em>S. mutans<\/em> has an interesting quality in\nthat it thrives in an acidic environment and every time we eat or take a sip of\na beverage other than water; the oral cavity becomes acidic.&nbsp; Now, it\u2019s okay!&nbsp; Our saliva attempts to counterbalance the\nacidic environment and bring the mouth back to neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, when food and plaque sit on teeth, the environment underneath\nthe plaque is acidic, it can stay stuck to the enamel until we remove it from the\nteeth with a toothbrush or floss.&nbsp; In the\nacidic environment, the minerals that make enamel so strong, can get broken\ndown and is unable to recover.&nbsp; At that time,\na cavity will form.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last thing needed to form a cavity is time.&nbsp; It takes time for the acid to break through\nthe enamel and reach the underlying layer of dentin.&nbsp; Can I give you some bonus information?&nbsp; Did I hear you yell an emphatic \u201cYES\u201d?&nbsp; I\u2019m so glad you did.&nbsp; Research studies show that it takes\napproximately six months for a cavity to break through the enamel layer.&nbsp; It is for this reason that insurance\ncompanies cover a cleaning every six months and one day.&nbsp; And not a moment sooner!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cavity
