Insights from Chapter 1
#1
The most common chronic disease in the United States is dental disease, which affects more than 18 million American children. Teeth are supposed to last a lifetime, but among adults over 65, nearly one in five have lost all of their teeth.
#2
The mouth is the gateway to your body, and it is affected by everything that goes through it. Poor oral health can be a result of systemic disease, or the cause of it. The microorganisms in an unhealthy mouth can cause not only cavities and gum disease, but also chronic inflammation.
#3
The maxilla, which is the bone that forms the upper jaw, has a profound influence on the shape of the nose, lips, teeth, cheekbones, and eyes. It also contains the maxillary sinuses. The maxilla is intimately connected to many other facial structures, and its proper growth is critical in the development of the dentition, bite, and support structures that control the tongue and airway.
#4
The growth and development of dental occlusion is a very long process that starts during week six of intrauterine life and ends during the late teen years or shortly after 20 years of age. The growth of the jaws and teeth is influenced by both genetics and environment.
#5
The fourth way to make room for teeth is to place a space maintainer on the permanent molars to maintain the leeway space, prevent those molars from drifting forward, and use the space for the front teeth.
#6
The sutures that connect the bones of the maxilla begin to close around age eight. If a child has crowding, a narrow upper jaw, a narrow airway, crossbite, or issues with snoring or sleeping, the time to address it is before the sutures interlock.
#7
The tongue is an extremely muscular organ that plays a major role in speaking, chewing, swallowing, and tasting. It is aided by three pairs of major salivary glands and hundreds of smaller salivary glands around the mouth.
#8
Your mouth is much more than just a collection of teeth. It is also home to your teeth’s internal structures, which include enamel, the outer layer of your teeth, which is mainly composed of the mineral calcium phosphate, arranged in a strong crystal structure called hydroxyapatite.
#9
The human microbiome is made up of all the tiny organisms in and on your body. It’s your microbial community, and it helps you survive. Your microbiome is different from person to person, and it can explain why two genetically identical people can eat the same things and exercise the same amount, yet they lose or gain different amounts of weight.
#10
We live in a society that is constantly trying to get rid of bacteria. We use antibiotics like crazy, and overload on antibacterial soap and mouthwash in our homes. We’ve been in an arms race with bacteria ever since.
#11
The microbiome in your mouth is filled with billions of microbes that are essential for the mineral exchange between your teeth and saliva. They also protect your mouth against infections.
#12
The mouth is a garden of sorts, and the oral microbiome is the beautiful flowers, plants, and vegetables that grow inside it. To keep everything healthy, you water your garden daily, cut and trim branches, and add nutrients to the soil when necessary.
#13
The balance between the demineralization and remineralization of the enamel is maintained in a healthy mouth. But if there is a breakdown in that process, the saliva can’t put the minerals back fast enough to protect the enamel.
#14
Sugar is also difficult for the body to process, and can lead to tooth decay if consumed in excess. It can also shift the balance of the oral pH from alkaline to acidic, which allows bacteria that metabolize simple carbohydrates to release acids that eat away at enamel.
#15
The foods we eat are only part of the equation when it comes to tooth decay. What’s also important is what’s missing from our diets. For example, calcium is a key nutrient for healthy bones and teeth, but without the adequate amounts of vitamins A, D, and K2, calcium will not be deposited where it needs to go.
#16
The pH balance of your mouth is extremely important because it determines the composition of your oral microbiome. Eating acidic foods and sugar, as well as smoking, drugs, and using harsh toothpastes and mouthwashes, will disrupt this balance.
