🦷🍭 While #sugar is often blamed for cavities, it's actually the lactic acid produced by #bacteria as they digest #carbohydrates that weakens enamel.

Human saliva typically neutralizes these #acids within 30 mins. but frequent snacking can keep mouth pH levels low enough to cause permanent damage. Experts recommend waiting at least 20 mins. after eating before brushing to allow enamel to re-harden.
