Not eating could have prevented this.

Dental disease was thought to have originated with the introduction of farming and changes in food processing around 10,000 years ago.
So, prior to that nobody suffered from tooth decay???????
As for the hunters and gatherers, they suffered tooth decay because they didn't brush regularly after every meal nor did they floss..........
NO, I'm not a dentist but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.........

Skeletons at Taforalt reveal that most people practiced tooth evulsion, whereby one or two healthy incisors were deliberately removed in late childhood or early adulthood.Is this style making a comeback?

I thought that was global warming.
