As toothache and dental cavities continue to pose major health challenges among thousands of young people across the country, a dental surgeon, Dr. Ayuba Baka, has advised youths to reduce their intake of sugary foods and maintain good oral hygiene to prevent oral diseases. Dr. Baka gave the advice in an interview with Radio Nigeria against the backdrop of the rising cases of toothache and dental cavities among underage persons. According to Dr. Baka, when sugar remains in the mouth overnight, bacteria feed on it and produce acids that erode tooth enamel, leading to tooth damage. He said the habit, coupled with poor brushing practices, significantly increases the risk of tooth decay. Dr. Baka described dental caries as a condition commonly associated with the rich and middle class due to their higher consumption of processed and sugary foods. He noted that lifestyle and dietary habits play a key role in determining an individual's risk of developing cavi...
