subject: DENTAL CARIES.
dental caries is the most common disease affecting human being.it can be described as localized destruction of teeth by microorganisms.
The term caries comes from latin cariousus which means rottenness.
Dental caries can be described as a destructive process which cause decalcification of enamel and dentin resulting in cavitation.
dental caries may occur in any area where plaque and food can adhere to the tooth surfaces.
certain types of bacteria found in the mouth break down sugars and starches and create an acid capable of destroying tooth enamel.
So,formation of cavity requires acid producing bacteria,suitable sugary food,plaque,and host susceptibility factors.
i will discuss the ways af prevention in my next post.

Hello Moh'd Ibrahim!
Good to hear from you! Thanks for the sensible advice. It makes a change from IELTS nonsense - this is a matter of health and education!
My teeth became rotten and amalgam-filled at a very young age. My daughters have beautiful unfilled teeth - it is a matter of prevention as you say.
Can we pursue the tooth analogy related to your English language? If you don't take care of your language skills they will dry up and decay. You have to brush up your knowledge or your English will lack bite!
We could try to transplant new teeth into your mouth, but this is very costly and interferes with nature!
Let us see lots of happy, smiling faces this evening and banish stale, sticky factors from our IELTS diet.
Nice one, Mohammed! Class, how about bringing your personal/professional world into the blog - a la Jean Luc and Mohammed Ibrahim?
Tony
ps "My bark is worse than my bite" - have you heard of this expression? What does it mean?
