DENTAL DECAY
Sir, —If sugar is the cause of dental decay when eaten frequently, what relationship has the frequent cleaning of teeth with sugary tasting dentifrices to prevention of the healing properties of saliva from functioning? If the loss of one person’s teeth was attributed to over cleaning why are children taught to clean teeth frequently, when an apple might effect the process safely? —Yours, etc.. Natural questions. June 4, 1953.
