Candy Cavities Exposed
đ CANDY CRIME SCENE: What Your Dentist Doesnât Want You to Know About Cavities! đŠ·
Brace yourselves, readersâbecause weâre about to uncover the dark, sticky truth hiding behind that innocent-looking smile. Yes, we're talking about DENTAL CAVITIES (aka caries)
It All Starts with a Sweet Lie⊠đŹ
You take a bite of your favorite chocolate bar. Harmless, right? WRONG. The sugar you just enjoyed is now a five-star buffet for the bacteria in your mouth. Thatâs rightâmouth bacteria are having a party, and the guest of honor is decay.
According to rogue insiders (a.k.a. dentists), these bacteria munch on sugar and turn it into acid. This acid then launches an all-out attack on your enamelâthe hard, protective layer of your teeth. Over time, this acid eats away at the enamel, forming tiny holes. Spoiler alert: those holes are cavities.
From Innocent Snack to Oral Attack! đ±
Once the enamel is breached, itâs open season on the softer layers beneathâdentin and even the nerve. If left untreated, cavities can morph into something far more sinister: excruciating toothaches, root canals, and even tooth loss. Yikes!
And get thisâyou might not even feel it until itâs too late. Some cavities sneak around like dental ninjas, silently damaging your teeth until BAMâyou're in the dentist's chair begging for mercy.
