Dental disease is a problem
WASHINGTON (NES)-Despite modern Nevertheless, about one American
knowledge, dental disease continues
to afflict nearly everyone. It has
been estimated that about 97 percent
of the population in the United
States suffers from dental decay or
diseases of the gums and other sup-
porting tissues of the teeth. Yet
dentists feel that most tooth loss
and most dental diseases can be
stopped before they start.
In primitive societies, the loss
of a man's teeth doomed him to an
early death from malnutrition.
While it was rarely possible for him
to survive without his teeth, man
began to look upon the early loss of
his teeth as desirable because of
the pain and sickness he often asso-
ciated with them. Only in recent
times has man considered his teeth
essential to good health. Until the
major epidemics were brought under
some measure of control, man had too
many other things to worry about.
Now, the average man will live to be
72 years of age, and in his seven-
ties he will continue to need his
natural teeth.
Still, we find many people today
who would rather have their teeth
removed and replaced by dentures.
"Why put up with all those dental
problems when false teeth work just
as well?" they ask. They don't re-
alize that the best dentures in the
world are poor substitutes for the
teeth nature gave us.
in eight has lost all his teeth,
which means that about 25 million
people in this country are dental
cripples. This is not to mention
the millions who have lost some of
their teeth from tooth decay and gum
disease and will soon lose more for
the same causes.
There are few valid reasons for
any man, woman or child in the
1980s to endure the pain and un-
sightliness of teeth afflicted with
decay and gum disease or to require
artificial teeth. (Compiled by
