For The Children: Fixing Modern Dentistry

Well, if you are one of those people for whom having children looks likely, paying attention to what anthropology has to say about dentistry might keep the future little ones out of one of the biggest trial of my generation:

"Where is Darwin on dentistry? Caries & malocclusion from an evolutionary perspective" by Kevin Boyd, DDS, MS & Michael Mew, DDS from Ancestry on Vimeo.



I'm pretty sure the whole lot is avoidable with proper nutrition, but it'd be great to see some progress along the lines these two speakers are talking about. I still run into situations where dentists clearly don't know what is going on and merely treat without there being any coherent picture.
