Why does sugar make your teeth rot?!
Question: Bacteria in your mouth convert sugar to acid. This acid erodes the enamel, eventually leading to a cavity that will need to be treated by a dentist. If left long enough, dental decay (cavity) can reach the nerve of the tooth and this will require either root canal therapy or removal of the tooth.

There is acid in the sugar that sticks to yur teeth
You put sugar in your mouth (candy, soda, fruit--it all has sugar).
You swallow most, but some residue stays in the mouth.
Natural bacteria in your mouth eat the remaining sugar.
Then they pee.
Their pee is acidic.
That acid eats at the enamel of your teeth.
