here we go with few dental facts..
An average human being has around 32 teeth. This includes four wisdom teeth, eight incisors, four canines, twelve molars and eight premolars.
A person develops two sets of teeth in his entire lifetime. The first set is also known as your ‘baby teeth’ which will start to lose by the time you reach six or seven years old. When you reach 21 years of age, you already have your permanent set of teeth.
The People’s Republic of China has set aside September 20 as a national holiday for ‘Love your Teeth Day’.( thats too good ..)
In the 1800s, people who had false teeth in England ate in their bedrooms before gatherings and events at the dinner table. This unique Victorian tradition protected them against the embarrassment of having their teeth ‘fall off’ while dining.
A long time ago, humans utilized charcoal or ground up chalk, ashes, lemon juice, and honey-tobacco mixture to clean their teeth. It was only around a hundred years ago that the toothpaste was invented.
Dentists would recommend that you keep your toothbrush at least six feet away from your toilet to avoid many airborne particles that results from flushing.
In an entire human lifetime, the average person produces around 100,000 gallons of saliva. As people age, their salivary secretions also decrease making them more susceptible to dental diseases.
60% of people who don’t know that a sore jaw, when combined with chest pain, can signal a heart attack-especially in women
More people use blue toothbrushes than red ones.
Like fingerprints, everyone’s tongue print is different
Any disease in the oral cavity is often more painful especially toothache than other pains in the whole body
a disease in the oral cavity can even be lethal (oral cancer)
How people take care of their oral cavity is only a reflection of how they feel about themselves.Proper maintenance of oral cavity can prevent from many diseases of oral cavity and the human body as a whole...
