When we eat, small particles of food get stuck between the teeth, giving rise to bacteria. They reproduce and create dental problems like caries. At first, these are only holes in the enamel of the teeth, but as they become deeper they can be very painful. Chewing becomes difficult with bad teeth, and the jaw looks deformed if some teeth are missing. If the bacteria are not removed, they can enter your body through the mouth. The writings of a Greek doctor Hippocrates are a proof that the connection between hygiene and disease was known 3000 years ago. So, even the ancient Greeks brushed their teeth!
