1 After you eat, tiny bits of food are left between your teeth. Bacteria grow on them, forming plaque.  The bacteria digest the carbohydrates (sugars and starches) in food and produce an acid. This acid dissolves the enamel (the hard outer layer of your tooth) and a hole (cavity) is formed.
While we suggest that our patients avoid sugar and brush and floss to avoid cavities, letâs face it, for most people, some cavities are a part of life. In fact, dental cavities are the most common disease known to mankind.here are two reasons for that. First of all, if a cavity is in the middle of a tooth, there is a lot of solid tooth structure that can obscure the area of decay. It is like looking at a bagel from the side. You can not see the hole, even a big one in the middle. All dental x-rays are taken from the side.
