Dental caries is a prevalent chronic condition globally, impacting individuals of all ages, with children being particularly susceptible. It arises from bacterial fermentation of dietary sugars, leading to acid production that gradually erodes tooth enamel, dentin, and cementum, eventually causing cavities and tooth decay. The prevalence of dental caries varies across countries due to differences in oral healthcare programs, lifestyles, and socioeconomic status. Dental caries not only affects oral health but also poses significant challenges to overall well-being, including difficulties in eating, sleeping, and school attendance.
