Surprisingly Little Evidence for the Usual Wisdom About Teeth

Many of the things we’re told to do for our dental health aren’t supported by systematic reviews.

I found thru our family history that unfortunately, the dental health is much more genetic. I said “unfortunately”, because we do not have good genes for it and it is evident in our grandkids. Even my own dentist was dismayed after telling me several times that I am done, I will have it better…never happened. He admitted eventually, that my teeth will be work-in-progress for the rest of my life.

@oldmom4896 - read the comments for that article, they are very interesting. I don’t think it’s quite as simple as the title implies.
