>>97231824Cavities, and rotting teeth in general, are caused by bacteria, right? So how exactly does brushing teeth help avoid it? Is toothpaste antibiotic? or is it like soap and it incapsuates bacteria? Also, aside from the burning pain, would it then help to buy that 65/75% alcohol from farmacies and wash your mouth with it? Or would that get you on one of those youtube videos of "This guy washed his mouth with rubbing alcohol, this is what happened to his brain"?
