“…Among the habits affecting oral health, tooth brushing frequency and consumption of sugary snacks were found to be among the factors associated with increased risk of caries according to our study. It is important to note that the consumption of sugary snacks is a significant risk factor for caries formation, with studies showing that it increases the risk of caries fivefold [ 62 ]. This finding is supported by the findings of other studies in the literature [ 29 , 30 , 32 , 58 ].…”

“…More than 40% children and adolescents, and 90% adults in the US are being affected by dental caries, or more commonly known as tooth decay. Multiple factors are considered to contribute to the risk of having dental caries, such as some environmental factors and social behaviors [30][31][32]. Evidence has shown that some individuals are more susceptible to caries while some others are more resistant, almost irrelevant to the environmental risk factors they are exposed to, suggesting that genetic factors may play crucial roles in the risk of developing caries [33].…”
