Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Dental caries occurs due to a complex interaction between bacteria, fermentable carbohydrates, and many other factors, including teeth and saliva. As you mentioned that your teeth are decaying, there could be multiple factors for that, such as; diet, excessive and frequent intake of sugar products increase the chances of tooth decay, dry mouth (xerostomia), and the reduction or absence of saliva increases the chances of tooth decay. Lack of oral hygiene also increases dental caries risk. Patients who do not follow proper oral hygiene habits are at greater risk of developing dental caries.
