Opinion was also supported by statistical data of National Health Survey 2002. In the data recorded from 7 Indonesia 10 people have gum problems berdarah.Dan according to data from Indonesian Dentists Association (PDGI), prevalence of inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) in the whole world is 75-90 percent.
While data from studies in the Dental Hospital & Oral Education Moestopo University Prof. Dr. in 2004 noted that 71.3 percent of patients in this hospital has teeth as a trigger coral disease gingivitis, 3 percent suffer from bleeding gums, decreased 25.55 percent gums, and only 0.44 percent of the declared healthy.
