Why is tooth decay the most prevalent diseases in the community and second most expensive?

Almost all cavities occur where, after every meal or snack, food is left trapped between teeth and inside pits and fissures in grooves on chewing surfaces where the brush, toothpaste, mouthwash, chewing gum and saliva cannot reach. There has been little improvement in the last 20 years.
