I have read with interest the article ‘‘Understanding Muslim patients: cross‐sectional dental hygiene care’’ by ML Sirois et al . In the time that I see their article as a faithful, unbiased image showing a Muslim's religious life and conduct from the oral and systemic health perspective, I still have two main concerns about certain facts which were denoted with imprecise connotations. These are related to food and Ramadan fasting.
