“Paleontologists have long believed that teeth evolved from the bumpy structures on this armor, but their purpose wasn't clear. The new study, published in Nature, confirms that these structures in an early vertebrate fish from the Ordovician period about 465 million years ago contained dentin, and likely helped the creature sense conditions in the water around it.” Even though your dentin tubules are covered with enamel now, they are still connecting you to the outside world.

Sometimes people clench their jaw or grind their teeth without even realizing it, especially while they're asleep. A lot of the time, this isn't just about stress - it can actually be caused by breathing problems during sleep.
When your body can't breathe properly at night, it goes into a kind of "panic mode" to try to fix it. Your jaw tightens to help keep your throat open so air can get through. Over time, this can cause jaw pain, headaches, and can even wear your teeth down.
That's why wearing a mouth guard at night doesn't always solve the problem - if your breathing issues aren't fixed first, your jaw will keep clenching no matter what!

If you read our post about the hope of “healing cavities naturally,” you may have picked up on an important truth: Your teeth are constantly losing minerals and constantly gaining them back.
This is a natural and nonstop cycle. So despite how some describe it, remineralization isn’t something you “do” like brushing or flossing. Your body does it for you. The question is whether you’re giving your body what it needs to do this effectively and efficiently.

When it comes to placing a dental implant, the industry standard has always been to wait three to six months for healing and infection control. Now we are seeing studies that support focusing on the needs of the individual patient. Which, as a biological dentist, we can totally get behind!
In some cases, biocompatible, ceramic implants can be placed immediately after extraction. Treated with ozone and PRF, they can do very well. But in other situations the jawbone might need some nutritional rebuilding, or time to heal so it can sustain the implant for years to come. The real "art," as the article puts it, truly lies in the doctor/patient relationship - taking the time to truly understand each person's unique health history, biology, and goals. https://www.drbicuspid.com/clinical/implants/article/15818012/what-dentists-can-expect-from-future-dental-implant-placement

Waiting 30 to 60 minutes after eating or drinking something acidic is a good idea to prevent erosion.

You may have heard that you can ‘regrow’ dental enamel. As much as we would love that to be true, we’ve seen patients delay treatment because they’ve heard that teeth can repair themselves, only to have to get a full crown instead of a simple filling because the decay process didn’t stop completely. We’ve also heard from parents who thought their child’s cavity was cured after a decayed tooth had stopped hurting, only to be told that the infection had actually made it all the way into the pulp.
Follow the link to learn more about what can happen when decay is left untreated - and why early treatment is always the better choice.

Stop for a sec and check your posture.
Is it resting gently against the roof of your mouth? Is it just behind your front teeth? If not, say the letter ‘N’.
The position your tongue will make is the correct resting spot.
If that's not where your tongue naturally rests when you're not eating or sleeping, you might not be getting enough oxygen at night.

“This study adds to growing evidence that oral health is deeply connected to brain health, and that protecting one's chewing ability may be a simple but powerful strategy for preserving cognitive function later in life.”
