It is sad to note the latest report on the oral health of children in the rural areas. Tooth decay is common to grade school and high school age. One dentist said that brushing the teeth is not common to rural folks although schools are teaching the care for the teeth with regular brushing.
My take on tooth decay is the food that we eat especially candies. When I was young I would eat a candy after dinner and the sweet taste would remain in my mouth until morning. I would brush my teeth before going to school though so I am good in the morning. When I was in college that’s when I learned that using a gargle can prevent tooth decay. There is no need to brush the teeth in the morning if you used the toothbrush the night before. The morning gargle would cleanse the mouth of latent bacteria and helps in preventing tooth decay.
