tooth decay
Tooth decay is cavities in the teeth that are accompanied by some pain, sometimes as a result of food residues, acid or bacteria covering the surface of the teeth and forming deposits that stick to them. Then the enamel of the tooth begins to erode and the decay reaches the dentin of the tooth, which then leads to the formation of permanent holes in which food residues are attached, causing some infections with the passage of time.
Caries usually occurs as a result of excessive consumption of foods and drinks that contain large amounts of free sugars, in addition to the lack of attention to periodic dental hygiene.
periodontal disease
The accumulation of tartar on the teeth and gums as a result of not taking care of dental hygiene periodically, the gums are usually exposed to some infections that lead to swelling and bleeding during brushing or flossing, not to mention the unpleasant smell they emit.
If these infections develop without being treated by the dentist, it may lead to tooth loss. The most important causes of gingivitis are poor dental hygiene and excessive smoking.

Tooth loss or cracking

Infections in the gums and tooth decay usually cause teeth to weaken and lose over time. Also, chewing food intensely and pressing the teeth at night during sleep leads to a weak connection of the tooth to the gums.
To avoid this, you must first take good care of your teeth, chew food moderately, stay away from smoking, and not eat a lot of foods rich in sugar.
