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.
The only time cavities are forming is when the sugars and plaque is present for an extended amount of time, with this being the case every time you rinse, brush, or get your teeth clean you stop the process of tooth decay. However, the damage that was done while these were present doesnât wash or brush away.
