  • People who drink 3 or more glasses of soda daily have 62% more tooth decay, fillings, and tooth loss than others. So who is ready for a glass of water?

  • If you’re right-handed, you will chew your food on your right side. If you’re left-handed, you will tend to chew your food on your left side. Bet you are going to test it.
  • Only 40 percent of young people aged six to 19 have had cavities in their life. That’s down from 50 percent a decade ago!
  • In the middle ages, people thought that a dog’s tooth boiled in wine made an excellent mouth rinse to prevent tooth decay. Tasty!

  • Before the 1850s, ‘toothpastes’ were usually powders and contained soap and chalk.
