	Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine: Tooth decay
		Tooth decay, which is also called dental cavities or dental caries, is the destruction of the outer surface (enamel) of a tooth.
		Decay results from the action of bacteria that live in plaque, which is a sticky, whitish film formed by a protein in saliva (mucin) and sugary substances in the mouth.
		Tooth decay in pits and fissures may be differentiated from dark shadows in the crevices of the chewing surfaces by a dye that selectively stains parts of the tooth that have lost mineral content.

	Tooth Decay
		Tooth decay is immune-mediated inflammatory destruction of teeth infected with bacteria.
		The rate of decay is determined primarily by the degree of the bacterial-triggered immune response countered by the anti-inflammatory buffering systems.
		Tooth decay, along with the stereotype of the shrinking, thin-skinned, cranky old person, is created by the acid-forming catabolic chronic stress response.

	Baby Bottle Tooth Decay
		Although tooth decay is not as common as it used to be, it is still one of the most common diseases in children.
		Tooth decay is caused by germs (bacteria) and sugars from food or liquids building up on a tooth.
		Baby bottle tooth decay occurs when a child's teeth are exposed to sugary liquids, such as formula, fruit juices, and other sweetened liquids for a continuous, extended period of time.

	BBC NEWS \| Health \| Medical notes \| Tooth decay
		Tooth decay, known technically as dental caries, is one of the most common health complaints in the world.
		It is thought that tooth decay only became a widespread problem with the establishment of sugar plantations in the 18th century, and worsened with the subsequent widespread cultivation of sugar beet in Europe.
		The decayed or weakened area is removed and repaired and a covering jacket - the crown - is fitted over the remainder of the tooth.

	Look, no cavities !
		The incidence of tooth decay can be greatly reduced, to the extent that it may be totally eliminated in most cases.
		Once decay has started and a cavity has formed, it becomes necessary to treat it to prevent the process from extending further.
		When decay is limited to enamel: Treatment at this initial stage is preventive in nature because it will stop the decay process from extending to deeper areas of the tooth.

		Tooth decay is caused by bacteria interacting with food particles left on the surface of the tooth.
		Tooth decay that is stopped before it reaches the dentin (second layer of the tooth) will repair itself.
		Tooth decay that reaches the pulp and/or root of the tooth is treated with a root canal:

	What is tooth decay?
		The formation of tooth decay ("cavities") can be a significant problem some individuals, either as children or adults.
		Tooth decay can, however, be prevented to a very great degree if a person just understands and practices a very few basic concepts.
		In short, tooth decay is a location on a tooth where so much of the tooth's mineral content as been dissolved away that a defect (a hole or a "cavity") has developed.

	Tooth Decay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tooth decay occurs when your teeth are frequently exposed to foods containing carbohydrates (starches and sugars) like soda pop, candy, ice cream, milk, cakes, and even fruits, vegetables and juices.
		These acids damage tooth enamel over time by dissolving, or demineralizing, the mineral structure of teeth, producing tooth decay and weakening the teeth.
		And because the area around a restored portion of a tooth is a good breeding ground forbacteria, those with a lot of fillings have a higher chance of developing tooth decay.

	Baby Tooth Decay
		Tooth decay in infants and young children is called Baby Bottle Tooth Decay.
		Often the decay is caused by giving a baby a bottle of milk, juice, or sweetened liquid and letting the liquid remain in the child's mouth for a long period of time, such as naptime or bedtime.
		Decay occurs when liquids with any sugar, such as milk or fruit juice, are given to the baby and left to sit on the baby's teeth for long periods of time.

	What causes tooth decay?
		The answer is, the demineralization of a tooth is caused by acids, acids that are created by certain types of bacteria that live in our mouths.
		The acid which will demineralize a tooth and hence cause tooth decay formation is the acid which seeps in the other direction, on through the plaque down to the tooth's surface.
		This acid will be held right up against the tooth and because down at this depth there is less dilution, buffering, or washing away by saliva the acid will be in very concentrated form (a pH of 4 or lower).

		The study concluded in 1958 that showed that the true cause of tooth decay was white refined sugar.
		Tooth decay is primarily caused by white refined sugar, but a secondary cause may be from corn sugar.
		Tooth decay bacteria thrive in acids, so to reduce tooth decay, change the diet and environment to be more alkaline.

	Bacteria and Tooth Decay
		Bacteria and 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 internal structures of the tooth (the dentin and the pulp at the core) and can cause death of the nerve and blood vessels in the tooth.
		If plaque and bacteria are left on the teeth, cavities can develop and untreated tooth decay can result in death of the internal structures of the tooth and ultimately the loss of the tooth.

	Tooth Decay
		Tooth decay is the loss of the mineral structure of the tooth due to an infectious disease.
		Unlike commonly thought, tooth decay is neither a dietary disease nor resultant from inherited weak teeth.
		Lactic acid lower the pH of the saliva and causes the enamel of the tooth to demineralize.

		Very young children (under the age of two years) often have tooth decay and this condition usually effects the upper front teeth and is caused by frequent and prolonged bottle or breast feeding of the child.
		This form of tooth decay is caused by frequent exposure of the child's teeth for long periods of time to liquids containing sugars.
		However, it is not just what you put in your child's bottle that causes the tooth decay but how often and for how long a time the child's teeth are exposed to the decay causing acids.

		The bacteria produce acid that 'eats away' the calcium in the tooth's enamel and this causes the formation of minute holes (cavities).
		As the decay continues, bacteria migrate through the porous dentin and infect the pulp.
