Manufactured foods and dental decay

Manufactured foods and dental decay Dental caries or tooth decay is our most prevalent disease, and hardly anyone living in presentday Britain is completely free from it. More than 99 of the population have had teeth attacked by decay, sometimes so severely that a large proportion of their teeth have had to be extracted. The result of dental caries combined with gum disease is that 37 of all the people over 16 in England and Wales are edentulous i.e. have had all their teeth extracted, while the figure for Scotland is even higher at 44. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nutrition & Food Science Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Dental caries or tooth decay is our most prevalent disease, and hardly anyone living in presentday Britain is completely free from it. More than 99 of the population have had teeth attacked by decay, sometimes so severely that a large proportion of their teeth have had to be extracted. The result of dental caries combined with gum disease is that 37 of all the people over 16 in England and Wales are edentulous i.e. have had all their teeth extracted, while the figure for Scotland is even higher at 44.
