	AllRefer Health - Dental Cavities (Caries, Cavities - Tooth, Tooth Decay)
		Cavities are holes that damage the structure of teeth.
		Tooth decay is one of the most common of all disorders, second only to the common cold.
		Cavities are usually painless until they grow very large inside the tooth and destroy the nerve and blood vessels in the tooth.

	What's a Cavity?
		A cavity is a hole that can grow bigger and deeper over time.
		Cavities are also called dental caries (say: kar-eez), and if you have a cavity, it's important to get it repaired.
		If your dentist discovers a cavity, he or she can repair it for you by first removing the rotted part of your tooth with a special drill.

	How Cavities & Fillings Work
		A "B" buccal, is the surface of the tooth towards the cheek, and an "L" lingual, is the surface of the tooth towards the tongue.
		By the time there are symptoms, the cavity may have spread to infect the dental pulp, necessitating a root canal procedure or an extraction to eliminate the infection.
		Early dental cavities that have not spread to the dentin or have undergone cavitation should not be treated, as they can be healed or re-mineralized with fluoride.

	We Know: All About Cavities and Tooth Decay
		Cavities are brownish colored holes or pits on the surface of the tooth that are caused by plaque deposits and tartar build-up.

	Selection of Nest Cavities by Africanized
		Nest cavities are of crucial importance in the biology of honey bees, Apis mellifera L. The cavity provides protection of the colony against predators and from extremes of heat and cold plus rain, wind, and dryness.
		By comparing over time the numbers of swarms inhabiting the acceptable control cavities versus the numbers of swarms in the test cavities, one can obtain direct measures of the acceptability of given cavity sizes, the limits of cavity size that is acceptable, and a general measure of swarm "choosiness".
		Both of the larger cavity sizes had swarm occupancy rates of 11%, whereas the smaller 13.5 l cavities were occupied at a rate of 18%.

	Cavities: Tooth Disorders: Merck Manual Home Edition
		Cavities (dental caries) are decayed areas in the teeth, the result of a process that gradually dissolves a tooth's hard outer surface (enamel) and progresses toward the interior.
		Although a cavity may take 2 or 3 years to penetrate the enamel, it can travel from the dentin to the pulp—a much greater distance—in as little as a year.
		If a cavity is treated before it starts to hurt, the chance of damage to the pulp is reduced, and more of the tooth structure is saved.

	Does Breastfeeding Cause Cavities? - Breastfeeding
		Cavities are caused by bacteria that are present in everyone’s mouth.
		Those who are susceptible to cavities have an acid producing strain of bacteria that feeds on sugars in the foods we eat and, unfortunately, this bacterium is contagious.
		Regardless of the presence or absence of cavity producing bacteria, it is important to practice good oral hygiene upon the emergence of the first tooth.

	Cavities - Healthy Kids and Pediatrics - health and medical information produced by doctors
		Dental cavities (caries) are holes in the two outer layers of a tooth called the enamel and the dentin.
		The larger cavities can collect food, and the inner pulp of the affected tooth can become irritated by bacterial toxins, foods that are cold, hot, sour, or sweet-causing toothache.
		Acid plaque is different from the periodontal plaque that causes "Gum Disease." The acid plaque produced by these bacteria cause the hard inorganic layers of the enamel and dentin to soften.

		In 2005, 10.5 percent of the children with cavities were nearly overweight and 15.6 percent were already overweight.
		Although the average age-adjusted body mass index was higher in the children with cavities in 2005 than in the children with cavities in 2000, or those that were free of cavities, these differences were not significant, Perinpanayagam noted.

	Periodontitis And Cavities: Online References For Health Concerns
		The byproduct of this fermentation, lactic acid, lowers the pH at the junction of the plaque layer and tooth enamel, and eventually the enamel is eroded (Geddes DA 1991).
		The risk of developing cavities differs for each individual, based on factors such as oral hygiene, genetics, the size and shape of the teeth, resistance to infection, retention of dental plaque, and metabolism of sugar (Boraas J et al 1988; Conry J et al 1993).
		In many cases, cavities are not painful because they affect only the surface layers of the tooth and do not extend into the dental pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth.

		In their study, rats were given lactobacilli armed to produce antibodies against Streptococcus mutans, a bacterium that lives in the human mouth and causes cavities by converting sugar into enamel-eroding lactic acid.
		The rats were given the good bacteria over 2 weeks, and the researchers found that the friendly bugs were still in the animals' mouths 1 week after the final treatment.
		The researchers conclude that the effectiveness of the transformed lactobacilli, coupled with their persistence in the rats' oral cavity, suggest a "viable approach" to preventing or treating tooth decay in humans.
