How to use "Caries" in context?
The word "caries" comes from the Latin word caries meaning "to decay". Caries is the progressive decay of tooth tissue caused by acids that come from the diet and from the bacterial fermentation of food in the mouth. The basic process of caries development is termed demineralization, whereby the micro-environment within the tooth decay and submit to the action of acids. Without prompt treatment caries can result in the loss of entire tooth structure and permanent tooth damage. The development of caries is a gradual process that often goes unnoticed.
