The Ministry of Health and Population said that tooth decay occurs as a result of the decomposition of sugar in the various foods that are eaten, which results in a type of acid that eats the outer layer of the teeth “enamel” causing tooth decay.
The Ministry of Health and Population added: It is possible to protect the teeth by avoiding eating between the main meals, because this increases the possibility of tartar accumulating on the teeth and subsequently developing cavities.
Dr. Walid Hassan, Head of the Central Department of Dentistry at the Ministry of Health and Population, revealed the negative effects of teeth whitening and said that teeth whitening is a bleaching substance that is placed on the surface of the tooth in order to enter the formation of the tooth itself to lighten the degree of its color.
