Along with tooth susceptibility, bacterial presence in the plaque, and sufficient exposure to promote acid production, what other factor is necessary for the development of dental caries?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oral bacteria require fermentable carbohydrate as a substrate for the production of the acids that contribute to tooth decay.Because the oral and nasal cavities expose these bacteria to oxygen, the bacteria do not function anaerobically.Adequate saliva production and alkaline pH reduce the likelihood of dental caries.
