Effect of Cariogens on Primary Teeth
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Education - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Dental caries occurs in children with high intake of free sugar and not the dietary sugar. Bacteria in mouth metabolize the sugar to produce acid which causes demineralization of enamel and dentin leading to dental caries1. In this article we will focus on how dental caries effects the primary teeth and also the food items that cause dental caries. We will also talk about ways of preventing dental caries in children.
