Teeth decay when bacteria in your mouth produce acids that dissolve the hard mineralized outer layer of your teeth, known as enamel. This can occur when you consume sugary or starchy foods and beverages, which the bacteria feed on, and produce acids that erode the enamel.

Other factors that can contribute to tooth decay include poor oral hygiene, such as not brushing and flossing regularly, as well as dry mouth, which reduces the amount of saliva that helps neutralize acid in the mouth.

Wisdom teeth removal

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the final set of molars that typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. However, due to factors like limited space in the jaw or misalignment, wisdom teeth often do not have enough room to fully erupt and can cause various oral health problems.
