What causes cavities or sugar bugs?
Cavities, dental caries, or as we say, SUGAR BUGS is the result of complex interactions involving the individual (nutrition, genetics, behavior, race and age) plaque bacteria, saliva flow and composition and the environment. Diet has been linked to an “at risk” status in children around the world. The modern diet of refined carbohydrates, sugars, increased snacking, and decreased water consumption has been directly linked to dental caries upswings since 1937.
