Dental Care
Everyone is at risk for getting cavities throughout life. By the time most people are adults, 85 percent of people will have had a cavity!
Why?
You naturally have bacteria (germs) in your mouth. The bacteria mix with your saliva and bits of food in your mouth to form a coating (dental plaque) that sticks to your teeth. There are acids in the plaque that wear away the teeth. These acids can get inside the teeth and create holes in the teeth, or cavities.
