It starts as gingivitis due to plaque buildup. The plaque then hardens and turns to calculus which then harbors more plaque. During this process the body's immune system is trying to fight the buildup causing inflammation. This inflammation leads to tissue and bone loss which in most situations is irreparable. Frequent cleanings as well as good home care can catch problems early and fix them before they become irreversible.

Three things need to be present to get cavities 1- a tooth, 2- bacteria, 3- sugar. The bacteria eat the sugar and during that process an acidic environment is created. The acid causes the minerals in your teeth to exit, weakening them and allowing the decay process to begin. Essentially every time you eat so do the bugs in your mouth. Brushing and flossing destroy the colonies of bacteria that buildup within a 24-28 hour period eliminating the major component of acidic production. Also remember that fruit juices and soda are very acidic and contain sugar so frequent consumption of these beverages can accelerate the demineralization process of teeth.
