Dental caries are cavities or holes (a type of structural damage) in the teeth. Cavities are formed due to tooth decay which occurs as a result of bacterial infections. Certain types of bacteria produce acids that affect or erode the tooth enamel and the underlying layers, called dentin. This acid is produced when the sugar concentration in the food and drinks reacts with the bacteria present in the plaque. The acid produced leads to a loss of calcium and phosphate from the enamel, and this process is called demineralisation. Salivary bacterial level is related to the oral infection among a lot of children. Strategies for effective management of this disease in early childhood includes risk management, brushing with a toothpaste that is fluoridated, and certain behavioural interventions that affect self-care exercises.
