Answer:

Oral bacteria feed on the sugars in order to create acids that destroy the tooth enamel.

Explanation:

<em>Eating sugar is bad for your teeth health, particularly sucrose. Even if you brush your teeth after a few minutes, sticky glycoproteins ( that's a combination of protein molecules and carbohydrates ) starts the formation of the plaque. At that same time, millions of bacteria stick really fast to the glycoprotein. Even though many bacteria stick to the teeth, only </em><em>Streptococcus mutans </em><em>causes cavities. Then, bacteria use the fructose in a metabolism to get energy. They create lactic acid. </em>

<em>Frequent brushing and flossing are crucial in order to maintain a healthy oral flora and overall health of the teeth.</em>

Determine the meaning of the abbreviation bid , tid and qid
Ivanshal [37]
BID, TID, and QID are terms used by doctors for prescribing medicines. BID in Latin stands for <em>bis in die</em>, which means twice a day. When the doctor prescribes a drug with BID priority, it means that the nurse should give it twice, normally with a 12-hour interval. TID stands for <em>ter in die</em>. This means it should be administered three times a day. If this is the prescription of the doctor, the medicine should be given three times within 24 hours. This is within an 8-hour interval. Lastly is QID. In Latin, this means <em>quater in die</em> which means four times a day. Usually, this has a 6-hour interval.
