Recent studies comparing ancient dental remains with those of today have unveiled the increased prevalence of a particular bacterium responsible for cavities, suggesting that changes in human dietary patterns over the last century have led to a surge in cavities in modern populations. Life Time Dental, as featured in CNN’s 5 Things, is profoundly worried about how dietary shifts affect dental health. We are committed to educating people about the importance of dental hygiene, encouraging our clients, friends, and family not to neglect dental cleanings and to rinse their mouths after eating to wash away bacteria that cause cavities. This advice is based on findings from recent comparisons of ancient and contemporary dental samples.
