We always find trivia intriguing… Hope you do too! Not long ago, dentures were common wedding gifts in the British Isles because many people expected to eventually lose all their teeth and expedited the process by having them extracted at an early age. (We can’t quite imagine that, can you!?) Paul Revere, in addition to earning a living as a silversmith and copperplate engraver, also worked as a dentist. Not only is tooth decay the most common and widely occurring disease of humankind, it is the oldest. Scientists have found evidence of tooth decay in skulls of prehistoric humans. In ancient Egypt, the well-to-do were much more likely to suffer from toothache because only they could afford sweets. © Patient News
