I prefer to eat sugar, especially all kinds of fruit candy. Now there is a hole in the teeth, which is very painful. Will eating sugar cause caries?

    Sugar is the most harmful to teeth. Eating hard candy will discolor the mouth and tongue and cause permanent coloration of the teeth. It is best to eat colorful candy. Candy, snacks, sweet drinks, etc. are rich in sucrose, and there are many bacteria in the mouth. Among them, a variety of bacteria can use sucrose to ferment and produce acid, and demineralize the tooth surface to form caries. Therefore, reducing the number and frequency of eating sugar can reduce the occurrence of dental caries.
