The biggest culprits are too much sugar in the diet, ineffective toothbrushing and not using a good fluoride toothpaste. Fizzy drinks, fruit juices, sweets, and hidden sugars in everyday foods all add up. Combine that with irregular brushing, and you get the perfect recipe for decay. For children in deprived areas, where access to a dentist may also be harder, the problem is even more severe.
