Dental caries is caused by acid (mainly lactic acid) fermented by cariogenic bacteria in dental plaque after sugary food enters the oral cavity, starting from the weak part of tooth surface structure and gradually dissolving inorganic substances that destroy teeth. According to the national oral health epidemiological survey, the probability of five-year-old children suffering from dental caries in China is as high as 50-/66-, that is, one in every two children has dental caries. Therefore, it is extremely important to cultivate a good habit of caring for your baby's teeth.
