Eating patterns and food choices among children and teens are important factors that affect how quickly youngsters may develop tooth decay. When bacteria comes into contact with sugar in the mouth, acid is produced that attacks the teeth for twenty (20) mins. or more. 1
Fermentable carbohydrates work with bacteria to form acid that begins the decay process and eventually destroy teeth. They include the obvious sugary foods, such as cookies, cake, soft drinks and candy. But they also include less obvious foods such as bread, crackers, bananas and breakfast cereals. The acids dissolve minerals inside the tooth's enamel.This process is called demineralisation. Teeth also can regain minerals in a natural process called remineralisation. Saliva helps minerals biuld back up in the teeth (flouride foods does the same).2
Dental decay begins inside the tooth's enamel when minerals are being lost faster than they are being regained. The longer the food stays near the bacteria on the tooth, the more acids will be produced.
It may not seem like a very pressing issue to have, but there are several roles that saliva has in the oral cavity. Not only does it keep the

The aim of the experiment was to test different types of soft drink on calcium carbonate marble chips, which were used in place of human teeth, and record what percentage of the marble chips dissolved when it was left in the soft drink overnight. These results will show which of the five soft drinks tested was the most harmful, and the ingredients will be examined to explain why the particular soft drink was the most detrimental to human teeth. Human teeth are covered in a hard substance called tooth enamel, which is made of hydroxyapatite. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body and is vital in protecting teeth from decay (Callison, 2018). Enamel erosion occurs when acids wear away at the teeth and can result in painful temperature sensitivity, discolouration, cracks and chips, and indentations appearing on the teeth, and will result in cavities (Smith, 2013).
Bones and teeth: A lack of calcium can cause long-term problems with bones and teeth that can continue into adulthood. Lack of calcium causes weakness in teeth and bones which in later life can develop into a disease called osteroporosis, which causes older people’s bones to fracture easily. Tooth decay: If the diet includes too many sugary foods, including fruit juices there is a danger of tooth decay. When younger children’s milk teeth are affected, the adult teeth sitting under the gums can also become decay.

Chewing gum, but no sugar! If chewing gums are good for the teeth, they will be only the sugar-free ones, or those in which the sugar is completely replaced by sweeteners (xylitol, sorbitol, and mannitol). However, sugar is not recommended because it is cariogenic and represent the principal food for bacteria in our mouth. After eating the bacteria will produce acids that attack tooth enamel.
This study was compared to studies that were done in Australia and Europe which proves
