What causes cavities?
- Bacteria in the mouth feed on sugary, starchy foods and drinks
(fruit, candy, bread, cereal, sodas, juice, and milk). … - Bacteria, acid, food and saliva mix to form plaque. …
- Without proper brushing and flossing, acids in plaque dissolve tooth enamel,
creating cavities, or holes
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/10946-cavities
An untreated cavity can lead to an infection in the tooth called a tooth abscess. Untreated tooth
decay also destroys the inside of the tooth (pulp). This requires more extensive treatment, or pos-
sibly removal of the tooth. Carbohydrates (sugars and starches) increase the risk of tooth decay.

Link between Gum disease & Diabetes
Severe gum disease can negatively affect your blood sugar control and increase your chances of suffering from other common long-term complications of diabetes. The inflammation, which occurs in the gums, escapes into the blood-stream, and upsets the body’s defence system which in turn affects blood sugar control.

Link between Gum diseases and Lungs:
Cavities and gingivitis (gum infections) are caused by germs (bacteria). Teeth and gums are reservoirs for germs that can travel down to the lungs and harm them. Bacteria live in dental plaque, a film that forms on teeth. The bacteria will continue to grow and multiply. Healthy lungs have protective defenses to deal with those “invasions.” Disease-damaged lungs are not as able to defend themselves, increasing the risk.

Link between Gum diseases and kidneys:
Studies have shown that over time this colony of gum bacteria can spread to other organs of the body such as the heart and kidneys and can cause life threatening infections of those vital organs

Link between Gum diseases and Brain:
A new study suggests that brain and oral health may be closely linked. The study, published in Science Advances, links Alzheimer’s and gingivitis, and also suggests that the bacteria may even spur the production of beta-amyloid proteins, a toxic protein that is a hallmark characteristic of the disease

Link between Gum diseases and Heart :
Given this evidence, the American Dental Association and
American Heart Association have acknowledged the relationship between gum disease and heart disease. Gum disease may increase the risk of heart disease because inflammation in the gums and bacteria may eventually lead to narrowing of important arteries
