A recent Consumer Usage and Attitudes Survey (CUAS) conducted across the four geographic zones in India,comprising a total of 11,324 interviews by IMRB reveals that there is low level of awareness about the importance of oral health.. Dr Ashok Dhoble,honorary secretary general,IDA says,“For most,oral care is about finding a cure for their toothache,little realizing that a few simple daily routines can prevent painful cavities. Children should be made aware of basics like the importance of brushing teeth twice a day,cleaning teeth and gums properly and other oral care information. Starting early will make oral hygiene not a practice but a habit.”
