The dentist told me that the idea exists in India not to brush your teeth “because then you brush your teeth away.”
This is a persistent myth in India that is very difficult to combat. You see it in all walks of life.

Brushing your teeth: who should you believe? The myth or the dentist? And when you go to the dentist it is also difficult: there is usually no money for toothbrushes and toothpaste. That is why the “brushing teeth” action was so necessary! Maybe it’s time for a repeat!

Fortunately, the girls have now been to the dentist. So is Jinat. Cleaning Jinat’s teeth has started. It’s really bad!!! I hope the two bottom teeth will make it! It looks like a lot of bone tissue has already been lost.
