Teeth--

You asked wouldn't there have been damage to the gums if teeth were pulled out?

I'm not a dentist, but I was a dental assistant at one time. I watched teeth being pulled, the dentist is normally very careful not to damage the gums. Sometimes however, dentists have to slice gum lines to remove teeth. In that case, the patient usually needs stitches on the gums. Mostly though, a pressured rocking with the tooth locked in pliers is enough to pop a tooth, especially a baby tooth.

The decaying process could have caused the teeth to fall out. The bottom of Danielle's mouth was putrefied(in the state of mush) Yet, all her bottom teeth were in place none of her bottom teeth were moved by animals or dislodged by peridontis or missing.


Another question I have is that Sperber said Danielle last went to the dentist May 22, 2001. Sperber was shown her dental X-Rays. He stated that the dentist was named Dr. Bruce Baker DDS. I tried looking up doctor Bruce Baker with a dental office in CA. From what I found, there is no Dr. Bruce BakerDDS with an office in CA. But there is a Dr.Bruce Baker DDS in Lancaster, Ohio. His specialty is pediatric dentistry.

If someone out there can find Dr. Bruce Baker DDS in CA. I really would appreciate knowing that.

It was probably "none of the above." See the transcripts (some of which I posted in #49 I think), and Wonders' post #151. It's most likely they fell out naturally.
