Chewing skills can improve Oral Hygiene

Tooth decay is the most preventable of diseases. YET.

· Even with fluoridation, oral hygiene, dental health education
and fissure sealants, tooth decay is still the most common and
expensive food related disease with the economic impact of heat
disease, diabetes and obesity.

· Almost all cavities occur where food is left trapped after
eatng, between teeth and inside grooves on chewing surfaces where the
brush, toothpaste, mouthwash, chewing gum and saliva, cannot reach.

· Over 80% of cavities occur inside grooves on chewing surfaces
where saliva and fluoride have no access and very little food is
trapped compared to that trapped between teeth.
