Dr. Marks reports that researchers in India catalogued approximately 400 unique strains of bacteria/microbes intra orally (within the mouth) of at least 4 ethnic groups: non-Latin blacks, Caucasians, Oriental, and Latin’s. Only two % of the strains were in all the subjects, but the concentrations varied among the different groups. Eight % of the strains were found in ninety % of the subjects. The scientists found that each group had specific communities of bacteria, which was a signature for that group.

We dentists my have an extra reason to be afraid of alligators (in addition to everyone’s fears of being gobbled up by one). Dr. Marks says that one day there may not be a reason to have dental cavities filled, implants or crowns & bridges placed, or dentures constructed!
We have 2 sets of teeth, the ones we are born with (deciduous or baby teeth- which keep the space for our next set of teeth to erupt into), and our permanent or adult teeth. However, after our adult teeth erupt, we never form another set of teeth. What does this have to do with not having dentists any more? ……………………..CONTINUE --> Dental Health- what do we owe to Rats and Agriculture? Our ancestors, going back to the Neanderthals, did not always develop cavities (caries), explains Dr. Marks. This may surprise you, since we all know that the Egyptians of old had “ dentists ”. Studies show that before humans started to cultivate and plant agriculture for eating purposes, caries were not very common. It seems that once we cultivated food, caries started to become widespread. Studies at the medical school in Stanford found when they studied the cavity causing bacteria- that a new gene(s) formed and the bacteria spread wildly about 10 thousand years ago, the same time agriculture was developing. But how did this cause an increase in caries? CONTINUE --> |
