*!Caries is a breakdown of tooth structure, caused by acid produced from carbohydrate food debris left on the teeth after meals. Therefore prevention of caries can be achieved by:
1. Removal of carbohydrate debris to prevent acid forming.
2. Prevention of acquired stagnation areas.
3. Making teeth more resistant to acid attack.

*!If all carbohydrate is cleaned off the teeth immediately after a meal, the source of acid formation is lost and caries will not occur. Unfortunately this cannot be done completely as no method of cleaning is absolutely perfect. However, it will ensure a considerable reduction in the incidence of caries.

*!Teeth may be cleaned with a toothbrush or detergent food. The latter is any raw, firm, fibrous fruit or vegetable such as an apple, pear, carrot or celery. Their hard fibrous consistency scours the teeth clean of food debris. The best way of personally preventing caries is to clean the teeth immediately after every meal by brushing or finishing with a detergent food, and avoiding snacks between meals.

*!If caries is allowed to progress untreated, it will cause toothache, followed by pulpitis and alveolar abscess. The object of treatment is to stop caries progressing further and thereby prevent or cure pain. Relief of pain and repair of damaged tissue will also restore function to decayed teeth.

*!The type of treatment given depends on the health of the pulp. If it is still vital, and not affected by pulpitis, the tooth can be filled. But if the pulp is inflamed, or already dead, treatment is by extraction of root canal therapy. The choice depends on the value of the tooth to the patient. If it is desirable, and technically possible, conservative treatment is undertaken; otherwise it is extracted. No drug can cure caries and nothing can make the lost tooth structure grow again.

*!The best that can be achieved is the removal of all carious enamel and dentine and replacement by a filling. To prevent a recurrence of caries on the surface being filled, the cavity is extended to remove any other stagnation areas. Thus a tooth with a small occlusal cavity has not only the carious part, but all the occlusal fissures removed and filled.

*!The use of dental sealants is a means of prevention. A sealant is a thin plastic-like coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars to prevent food from being trapped inside pits and fissures. This deprives resident plaque bacteria carbohydrate preventing the formation of pit and fissure caries. Sealants are usually applied on the teeth of children, as soon as the tooth erupt but adults are receiving them if not previously performed. Sealants can wear out and fail to prevent access of food and plaque bacteria inside pits and fissures and need to be replaced so they must be checked regularly by dental professionals.

*!Topical fluoride is now more highly recommended than systemic intake such as by tablets or drops to protect the surface of the teeth. This may include a fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash or varnish. After brushing with fluoride toothpaste, rinsing should be avoided and the excess spat out instead.

*!An extraction can also serve as treatment for dental caries. The removal of the decayed tooth is performed if the tooth is too far destroyed from the decay process to effectively restore the tooth. Extractions are sometimes considered if the tooth lacks an opposing tooth or will probably cause further problems in the future, as may be the case for wisdom teeth. Extractions may also be preferred by patients unable or unwilling to undergo the expense or difficulties in restoring the tooth.

*!Calcium, as found in food such as milk and green vegetables, is often recommended to protect against dental caries. Fluoride helps prevent decay of a tooth by binding to the hydroxyapatite crystals in enamel. The incorporated calcium makes enamel more resistant to demineralization and, thus, resistant to decay.
