→TOOTH DECAY: this is caused by eating and drinking foods high in carbonhydrate.The leftovers of these foods on the surface or chewing area of the teeth produces the bacteria that causes TOOTH DECAY.

Carbohydrates are the most widely consumed foods amongst the average Nigeria population,it is nearly impossible to go a week without consuming them(carbohydrates).This is the more reason we(Nigerians) should take our dental health/hygiene serious.

Try as much as you can to brush after meals especially after dinner to remove the leftovers thereby protecting and preventing your teeth from decay as well as saving the money that will cause you a dental surgery.
