ECC and SECC are emerging public health problems in the developing countries. are we aware of its implications and working in the right direction to solve the problem?
I made an experiment on miswak taken from Salvadora persica tree used with infants and small children and it gave very good impact on the mouth and general health of the child.
The most impressive finding was the effect of miswak on the already affected tooth, I think it stopped the dental carries from damaging the whole tooth and deseminating to the gengiva and the nerve so I think when ever you miswak it will change the path of the dental carries in a positive way
The most important thing here is the way of using miswak, to get the best results miswak tip should be cut every day so that the active ingriediants are maximum, also the frequency of use is so important, I think it should not be less than 3 times per day and for infants the most important time of use is after the last breast feeding before the mother go to sleep.
