Dental cavities—also known as dental caries—are one of the most common oral health concerns, affecting both children and adults. Cavities form when bacteria or acidic substances erode the protective surface of the teeth, slowly wearing down enamel and dentine until tiny holes appear. When dental plaque builds up, this process speeds dramatically, creating the perfect […]
