Sugar does not cause cavities, but rather, the sugar feeds the bacteria that causes the cavity itself. Teeth' enamel softens and weakens because of the development of the cavity that allows the bacteria to access the tooth's interior structure. The bacteria produce an acid, a by-product that, if it stays on the tooth for long, eats up the enamel causing a cavity. The factors that cause the cavity process are bacteria, sugar, time, and acid. One of these factors increases the chances of developing a tooth cavity. Additionally, these factors have different control measures, and some are easier to control than others. Controlling the amount of sugar we put into our mouths fights off the development of cavities.
