Chairman of the Indonesian Association of Periodontology (fiery) Commissariat Jakarta, Drg Day Perio Sunarto Sp (K), said fiber-rich foods may be cleaning the teeth surface naturally.
"Fibrous foods like apples, vegetables, it can be 'self-cleansing' or natural cleaners for dental plaque, because it indirectly food could rub the surface of the teeth," said Day in a ceremony at the Brass-Cirebon, in Brass, Wednesday (20/2) night.
Based on the studies that have been done, there is a tendency for people in rural areas who often eat fibrous foods tend to be lower caries or decay on the tooth surface. "Instead of urban communities who ate fast food, tend to be more susceptible to caries," he said.
