Dental Caries and Stress?

Question

Can it be possible that dental caries (cavities) be caused by stress? It seems to me that it can, because stress can cause all kinds of other health problems then why can’t it also cause cavities. I have tried to find answers to question online, but have been unsuccessful. Sure would be great to know the answer to this.

Dental cavities are usually caused from to much plaque on the teeth or not brushing properly or flossing. Dental cavities is not cause by stress, cavities are cause by food that is in your teeth. By keeping ones teeth clean and floss and visiting the dentist once a year it will take care the problem.
