What is a cavity?
A phenomenon in which teeth are melted by acids produced through foodWhen you eat a lot of unclean teeth and sweet foods, food debris gets caught between your teeth and gums to form tartar and bacteria invade here, which is called caries or dental caries.
The area where cavities are common
The chewing side of the molar
Most cavities above 60% occur mainly on the chewing side of the molars. This is because the groove is deep so that food gets caught well.
Between teeth and teeth
Food is well caught between teeth and teeth, and tooth decay is common because it is difficult to brush.
Side close to the gum
Incorrect brushing causes the gap between the teeth and the gums, or the gums deteriorate, revealing the roots of the teeth and causing caries.
