Worms: As there are no parasitic worms that live in the human mouth, your question is intriguing. Sand with your son next time e brushes. If same thing occurs, see if you can scoop some of them up, place them in a bottle, and take them to your Dentist who can submit them to a lab for analysis. Your son should be brushing 2x/day for 2 minutes and flossing 1x/day.
