In observance of National Children’s Dental Health Week the ADA explains that unbalanced diets high in sweets promote tooth decay. Decay forms when cavities aren’t restored by a dentist, and primitive diets with less sugar show lower decay rates. Teenagers often eat sugary, unbalanced diets, making regular brushing crucial to remove sugar and prevent acid attacks on enamel.
