What do you think the people before this new fangled dentistry did ?
The diet we consume has more to do with mouth disorders than anything else.
Sugar ..refined and atificial...is the worst and probably soda the second killer of teeth and gum health...to say nothing of elevated diabeties complications..
With out refined sugar...that is, before the mid 18th century...teeth and gums lasted 80 plus years...witness the Eygptian mummies and others with teeth worn down but perfectly healthy and no cavities......strange thing is....the honey bear is the only wild beast that has reoccuring dental problems.
The animal kingdom seems to do well....fish have cleaning stations admittedly but it seems a simbiotic relationship for the most part although food scraps are removed but it now appears the purpose is mainly to remove parasites.....
And in my book, that is what most dentists are.
