Dental caries is an infectious disease that occurs due to the demineralization of the teeth, caused by the acids resulting from the bacterial plaque. It affects the hard tissues of dental pieces such as dentin and enamel. Although it is an infection that can start from the surface of the tooth, it can spread and also affect the pulp. Caries cause permanent damage, causing the softening of the dental piece and can evolve towards the appearance of cavities, that is, openings or holes in the teeth.
