Tooth decay, known technically as dental caries, is one of the most common health complaints in the world.
It is particularly common in children and young adults, and rates have been fuelled by an increase in sugars in the diet, and poor dental hygiene.
The problem is caused by sticky deposits called plaque that collect, in particular, around the gum line, the edges of fillings and the grooved surfaces of the teeth.
But this is only from the point of view of the dentists. A tooth can autoclean, you need just to eat raw fruit and vegetables.
