They occur when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that attack tooth enamel\u2014the hard outer layer of the tooth\u2014causing it to demineralize. If not treated promptly, this condition can progress to the dentin and even the pulp, causing pain, infections, and even the loss of the affected tooth.  <\/p><hr data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1112\"><h3 data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1150\">Main Causes of Tooth Decay<\/h3><p data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1247\"><strong data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1175\">Tooth decay<\/strong> usually develops due to a combination of factors, including:<\/p><ul data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1985\"><li data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1407\"><p data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1407\"><strong data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1278\">Poor oral hygiene<\/strong>: Insufficient or improper brushing, as well as a failure to floss, promote the buildup of bacterial plaque.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1573\"><p data-start=\"1410\" data-end=\"1573\"><strong data-start=\"1410\" data-end=\"1443\">A diet high in sugars<\/strong>: The sugars found in foods and beverages are metabolized by oral bacteria, producing acids that damage tooth enamel.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"1574\" data-end=\"1679\"><p data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1679\"><strong data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1594\">Fluoride deficiency<\/strong>: Fluoride helps remineralize enamel.
