Can tooth decay be reversed?

Tooth decays are small holes in a tooth through which bacteria have managed to enter and deteriorate the pulp inside, generating large internal craters until they reach the root of the tooth...

We have bacteria and sugars or starches that in combination form dental plaque. Then the bacteria are converted into acids, favoring growth, and it begins to wear down the external surface of the teeth

Deterioration of the enamel After the white spots appear, demineralization continues and holes (caries) can be seen in the teeth.
