are
bothered
with.
The

up
with
TOOTH
problems.

A
discussion
was
carried
out
in
the
respective
classes
with
their
class
teachers
to
find
out
the
root
causes
of
the
problems.
In

discussion
the
most
common
factors
pointed
out
by
the
students
are
as
follows
:
1. Irregular
dental
care.
2. Indulging
too
much
sweets
and
junk
food.
