It’s very important to take proper care of your mouth because without proper oral hygiene, dental caries can form. Dental caries are due to consuming a lot of sweets, drinks and foods that are high in sugar. Dental caries or tooth decay is caused from untreated cavities that “spread from the tooth enamel, which is the outer most layer of the tooth, into the softer dentin,” reports WorlDental.org.
Tooth decay is very common among children and young adults, but can be found in all age groups, and is caused by “sticky deposits called plaque that collects, in particular, around the gum line, the edges of fillings and the grooved surfaces of teeth,” states WorlDental.org.

The results of this study are focused on younger people who consume caffeinated alcoholic drinks. These drinks can be very dangerous because the caffeine can lead people to drink more, and also lead them to believe they are not as drunk as they truly are.
