subject: Public Beginning to Neglect Dental Health [print this page] Is it good or bad if we could get a drug that selectively kills plaque forming bacteria? I will definitely place my dollar on bacteria that overcome drugs. Nearly, all gum disease is the result of being forgetful. If only people will be responsible enough to brush their teeth, the disease could be prevented. If they observe proper brushing, the disease could be cured. But I don't think you'll get much of the public to do it.
