Tooth decay Dental caries (caries is Latin for rottenness), also known as tooth decay, cavities, or caries, is a breakdown of teeth due to activities of bacteria. The cavities may be a number of different colors from yellow to black. Symptoms may include pain and difficulty with eating.

tooth decay Tooth decay, which is also called dental cavities or dental caries, is the destruction of the outer surface (enamel) of a tooth. Decay results from the action of bacteria that live in plaque, which is a sticky, whitish film formed by a protein in saliva (mucin) and sugary substances in the mouth. The plaque bacteria sticking to tooth enamel use the sugar and starch from food particles in the mouth to produce acid.

Carnivore A carnivore /ˈkɑrnɪvɔər/ meaning 'meat eater' (Latin, caro meaning 'meat' or 'flesh' and vorare meaning 'to devour') is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue, whether through predation or scavenging.lants that capture and digest insects (and, at times, other small animals) are called carnivorous plants. Similarly, fungi that capture microscopic animals are often called carnivorous fungi.

Hygiene-related Diseases Dental Caries (Tooth Decay). Dental caries or cavities, more commonly known as tooth decay, are caused by a breakdown of the tooth enamel.This breakdown is the result of bacteria on teeth that breakdown foods and produce acid that destroys tooth enamel and results in tooth decay.lthough dental caries are largely preventable, they remain the most common chronic disease of children aged 6 to 11 years and adolescents aged 12 to 19 years.

Primary carnitine deficiency primary carnitine deficiency. Description. Primary carnitine deficiency is a condition that prevents the body from using certain fats for energy, particularly during periods without food (fasting). Carnitine, a natural substance acquired mostly through the diet, is used by cells to process fats and produce energy.

Diet and Nutrition Prevention of Chronic Diseases Sugars are the most important dietary factor in the development of dental caries. Worldwide studies on human populations show an association between sugar consumption and level of dental caries. Isolated communities that consume a small amount of sugar have a very low level of this disease.

- Diabetes is a condition in which the body cannot change sugars and starches (carbohydrates) into energy. This happens when the body cannot make enough insulin or cannot use the insulin it makes. As a result, extra sugar in the blood can lead to damage in the blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, heart, and nerves.

Decay results from the action of bacteria that live in plaque, which is a sticky, whitish film formed by a protein in saliva (mucin) and sugary substances in the mouth.avity — A hole or weak spot in the tooth surface caused by decay. Dentin — The middle layer of a tooth, which makes up most of the tooth's mass. Enamel — The hard, outermost surface of a tooth. Fluoride — A chemical compound containing fluorine that is used to treat water or applied directly to teeth to prevent decay.

- Dental caries, or tooth decay, is the rotting of teeth due to bacterial infection. Bacteria normally grow in the mouth of all individuals. Bacteria colonize and adhere to tooth surfaces within a gelatinous material called dental plaque.

- Rickets is a disease in children that causes the bones to develop softer than normal, resulting in muscle and bone weakness and deformity. Rickets is impaired mineralization of the growth plates of bones. The most common cause of rickets is a lack of vitamin D.ickets is caused by faulty mineralization in the bone-building process. Because vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus are needed to build strong bones, a lack of these substances will affect the bones.

- countries, the prevalence rate of dental caries is high and more than 90% of caries is untreated. An estimated 5 billion people worldwide suffer from dental caries (tooth decay). Nutrition affects the teeth and growth of the jaw during development. While malnutrition may exacerbate periodontal and oral infectious diseases, the most significant effect of nutrition is the local action of diet in the mouth,particularly in the development of dental caries and enamel erosion. Dental caries is largely caused by

- PERIODONTAL DISEASE. Periodontal disease, like dental caries, is a disease caused by bacteria found in dental plaque. While dental caries involves the teeth, periodontal disease infects the tissues that support the teeth, namely the gums and bone.

- Cavities are contagious, research shows Date: February 20, 2014 Source: University of Louisville Summary: Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is the single most common chronic childhood disease. In fact, it is an infectious disease, new research demonstrates. Mothers with cavities can transmit caries-producing oral bacteria to their babies when they clean pacifiers by sticking them in their own mouths or by sharing spoons.

WHAT ARE CAVITIES? WHAT ARE CAVITIES? Cavities, also known as dental caries, are the result of tooth decay, which is the damage that occurs when bacteria in your mouth create acids that eat away at your tooth. Food debris cling to your teeth and the bacteria in your mouth turn that debris into acids.

Tooth decay The cause of caries is bacterial breakdown of the hard tissues of the teeth (enamel, dentin and cementum). This occurs due to acid made from food debris or sugar on the tooth surface. Simple sugars in food are these bacteria's primary energy source and thus a diet high in simple sugar is a risk factor.
