There's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways? Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your life. Every parent should read this book. There is some convincing evidence in "Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic". Clearly, something is going on in the modern age explaining why getting braces is becoming a rite of passage for a lot of teenagers. While not the only reason, the change of diet is definitely a big reason. Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic - Sandra Kahn and Paul R.

World's First Tooth Regrowth Medicine Enters Clinical Trials — 'Every Dentist's Dream' Could Be A Life-Changing Reality. A pioneering dental medicine project in Japan is making strides toward clinical trials, with the aim of becoming the world's first tooth-regrowing treatment, according to the country's national news site Mainichi. The upcoming trial will be focused on patients affected by anodontia, a genetic condition characterized by the absence of teeth, or partial anodontia, where people are missing some teeth, as described by the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). https://t.co/YOIGGjfGYC
