Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay or cavities, is a condition characterized by the demineralization of tooth enamel and subsequent destruction of tooth structure. It is caused by the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth, which erode the enamel over time. If left untreated, dental caries can lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss.
