Tooth decay. Computer illustration of a section through a cavity in a human tooth, caused by tooth decay. Tooth decay is a breakdown of the hard tissues of the teeth (enamel, dentin and cementum) by acids produced by bacteria as they break down food particles. This process causes cavities in the teeth that can expose the nerve inside, causing pain. Treatment is usually through repairing the tooth with dental fillings. | |
