Bacteria from the plaque on teeth produce acid following the consumption of fermentable carbohydrates (mainly sugars and starches), from food and drink. Plaque acid from the mouth can cause the minerals from the tooth’s enamel to be dissolved (demineralisation) causing initial lesions (white spots) which can lead to dental caries.
