Solution

The correct option is C

Rinsing and brushing everyday


Tooth decay and gum diseases are caused by plaque, a sticky combination of bacteria and food. Bacteria break down the food particles remaining in the mouth and release acids which in the long run develop into plaque. In order to get rid of or to reduce the bacterial action, mouth rinsing and brushing regularly is a must.
