Answered by admin @



Sweet tooth is defined as liking of food which is sweeter in taste. The role played by sweet tooth in tooth decay is simple. When you eat a lot of sugary stuff which is carbohydrates mainly, the small particles that stuck in between teeth create a hot bed for the microbes to grow that resides in your mouth. These bacteria break down the enamel of teeth and cause cavities.
