what are the bacteria which cause tooth decay .I am doing project on tooth decaying baceria so tell me causes of tooth decay
Hello, Thanks for posting your query, Tooth demineralization refers to a process where an acidic environment leaches some mineral content (such as calcium) out of a teeth calcified tissues The acids that cause the demineralization process are produced by specific types of bacteria (primarily Lactobacillus and mutant streptococci) that live within dental plaque. The bacteria that cause cavities are living organisms. The acid that's most instrumental in causing cavities (demineralization) is that which seeps through the plaque and on down to the teeth surface. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful Regards
