Sucrose is sugar, sugar decays teeth
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago

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>
