Question

Which of the following practice can help reduce formation of residual acid on teeth?

• A. Rinsing and brushing once in a week
• B. Brushing after every bite of food
• C. Rinsing and brushing everyday
• D. Drinking lots of water

Answer 1

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.
