1. food, especially sugars and acids,
2. oral bacteria,
3. tooth sensitivity,
4. prolonged contact.

Materials that have been cooked starchy foods and sugars can be easily fermented by oral bacteria into acid compounds. Sucrose (cane sugar) is often called 'criminals' cause tooth decay (cavity) is an easily fermentable sugars to form a macromolecular sticky (sticky) who made the plaque can be glued to the teeth and prevents saliva (saliva) to wash the acids exist .

Within about 20 minutes after eating light snacks, the bacteria will produce compounds such as acetic acid, format, and lactate. that attack tooth enamel. Snacking means increasing the contact time with the acidic compound that exacerbating dental dental health. Gargling after snacking can help reduce food waste and dilute acid in the mouth.


4. Reduce or leave it soft drinks. Sugar in carbonated soft drinks can be a nutrient for the growth of bacteria in the mouth, as in a snack. Even if the composition of the drink without the sugar, the presence of citric and phosphoric acid to pH 2 (highly acidic), can erode tooth enamel and root.


5. Chewing gum (gum) which xylitol sweetener ingredient. Xylitol (C5H12O5) is a group of sugar alcohol in research over the last 25 years is proven to prevent dental caries / tooth decay. To reduce exposure (Expose) both sugars sucrose and glucose, especially from sugar-sugar products (candy), has now offered a sweetener naturally protective gear, which is xylitol.
