Reply:Like most of the world's other problems : EDUCATION.





Of course access to some basic necessities would be a plus as well.





Tooth decay is caused by poor diet, and lack of proper hygiene.





Many poor countries have the problem due to lack of access and education. But "western" cultures suffer mainly because of poor diet- we have access to and consume way too much sugar. Brushing 2x a day alone will not combat the amount of soda, candy and other sugars. That, and many dont floss as they should -its recommended to floss daily!
Reply:If your asking how to STOP tooth decay, it's to have the tooth decay remove that it already there present in the tooth. It's a simple dental treatment, that takes the decay out and replace that missing part of the took with a filling.
