Yeah there are more things you can get from other peoples germs.
Contagious tooth decay has been researched for validation for a few years. My daughter doesn't have tooth decay either. That just means that she never shared a drink or food with someone who does have tooth decay.
Tooth decya also comes from eating too much raw dark meat. I'm serious. People up north in my counrty do this and they have the most tooth decay in my country. It's caused by bacteria from the raw meat. It's those kids with the irresponsible parents that let their kids share food and drinks that cause it spread around. Of course it can be prevented by regularily brushing your teeth and going to the dentist at least once a year.
ok so im irresponsible am i?
I brush my teeth in the morning when i get up and i make no secret that i have fillings. So in a way i could have tooth decay, but my childrens teeth are perfect, Toms having orthodontic work, but he has no teeth decay and neither does Gemma. I have always shared cups and drinks with my children and so does my husband, obviously if we have colds and coldsores then we we do not.
I think this report is a load of rubbish and the key to perfect teeth is brushing and regular dental checkups!!
Its a bit like saying theres a cure for the common cold! Which we all know there is not!
