Abstract
This article discusses a report on the prevalence of dental caries in native children in rural areas of Alaska in 2008. Released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the report presented the factors which are associated with dental caries severity, including lack of water fluoridation and soda pop consumption. It also identified infrequent brushing and lack of dental floss use as the risk factors of dental caries.
