"I have NEVER seen a post of â€œten amazing factsâ€ on a website where every single one of the ten â€œfactsâ€ was either completely wrong or grossly misinforming. This is a FIRST!"

Now. i just really cant believe that! I mean the guy is so grossly misinformed .

Anyways he left his email address and i sent a mail to him. I dont care if he replies or not . But i really hope he reads it

Hey,

I would really not like to waste your time by introducing myself but rather clear a few misconceptions of yours. Although I do not have to DO this but its a just a personal urge to clear misconceptions .

You recently visited my article on my site http://dentalhealthsite.com/10-amazing-facts-about-oral-health-you-did-not-know/ and left a comment criticizing its credibility.

Let me just show you a few authoritative sources of those facts

1 Transmission of Caries forming bacteria from mother to child

"Early infection with S. mutans is a significant risk factor for future development of dental caries. Colonization of an infant's mouth with this bacteria is usually the result of transmission from the child's mother. S. mutans can apparently colonize the mouths of infants even before their teeth erupt" FROM dentalresource.org
"http://dentalresource.org/topic54dentalcaries.html"

and also "http://www.cda.org/library/cda_member/pubs/journal/jour0303/consensus.htm"

2 Not to put a cap on ToothBrush

"Do not routinely cover toothbrushes or store them in closed containers. A moist environment such as a closed container is more conducive to the growth of microorganisms than the open air"

This is from THE MOST authorative Dental health site American Dental Association "http://www.ada.org/prof/resources/positions/statements/toothbrush.asp"

"Don't put a cap on it, since that creates a dark, warm, moist environment and "bugs just go wild" from straight.com

http://www.straight.com/article-74901/is-your-toothbrush-bristling-with-disease

3 Sacharine Sodium 500 times sweeter than sugar

"Sodium saccharin is 300â€“500 times sweeter than cane sugar (sucrose)" from answers.com "www.answers.com/topic/saccharin"

and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharine (however wikipedia claims it to be about 300 times sweeter)

4 Distance of 6feet between Toilet and where you brush (this is a well accepted fact anyways)

"The bathroom is the most contaminated room in the house, and it's not the place to store intimate objects.â€¦Every time you flush, what's going down is also coming up and contaminating everything in your bathroom. Get your toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss out of the bathroom and into the bedroom" from http://www.straight.com/article-74901/is-your-toothbrush-bristling-with-disease

5. Replacing toothbrush after infection (Again a well accepted fact and you can find this on many sites)

"It is also important to change toothbrushes after you've had a cold, the flu, a mouth infection or a sore throat. That's because germs can hide in toothbrush bristles and lead to reinfection"

http://www.colgate.com/app/Colgate/...ingandFlossing/ToothbrushCareReplacement.cvsp

I can do the same for the rest of the Facts .

Being a Dentist, I just felt the need to clear your misconceptions. I dislike it when people refuse to change their opinions just coz they believed what they heard ages ago. The world is evolving and its for our better we keep up with the developments

Hopefully, you will come back to my site,subscribe with your email address and be a regular visitor thanks
