Cuidado dental: consejos para mantener tus dientes sanos

The video explains how consuming sugary foods and drinks increases bacteria in the mouth, forming plaque on teeth. Plaque can lead to tooth decay and gum problems if not removed regularly. The acid produced by bacteria in plaque attacks tooth enamel, potentially causing severe pain if decay reaches the nerves. Carbonated drinks exacerbate these issues due to their acidity. To prevent cavities and gum problems, it's recommended to brush teeth twice daily and limit sugary treats to special occasions.
