Book Description
Excerpt from The Human Teeth: Their Developement, Importance to Health, and Means of Preservation IT is a truth unfortunately too well known, that comparatively few retain their teeth in a sound and healthy condition even to middle age: while many, ere they have passed the bloom of youth, loose their teeth. That they were intended by an All-wise Creator to endure and fulfill their office as long as the other parts of our physical organization, is obvious, for the simple reason that they are not only necessary, but indispensable, to the maintenance of the system in full and healthful vigor. That the science of Dentistry is adequate to the grand achieve ment of the preservation of the human teeth, we believe - when its resources are fully tested, and applied in time - In Time, - as soon as disease makes its appearance, however minute. The oh jcet of the present pages is to give you such information as shall enable you to take care of your own teeth, and when the assistance of art becomes necessary, to distinguish between the scientific, honest operator, and the pretender, the pseudo dentist. The qualifications of a Dentist, are. Anatomy, Physiology, Sur gery, Pathology, and Therapeutics, particularly so, for as the teeth, gums, and alveoli are concerned, together with all the dis eases to which they are subject, and the best course of treatment, the mechanical resources of the science, and acute manual dexter ity in their application to the teeth, to which if we add that he must be a skillful chemist, and a good and honest man, we have his character in full.

Book Description
What teeth can tell us about human evolution, development, and behavior. Our teeth have intriguing stories to tell. These sophisticated time machines record growth, diet, and evolutionary history as clearly as tree rings map a redwood's lifespan. Each day of childhood is etched into tooth crowns and roots—capturing birth, nursing history, environmental clues, and illnesses. The study of ancient, fossilized teeth sheds light on how our ancestors grew up, how we evolved, and how prehistoric cultural transitions continue to affect humans today. In The Tales Teeth Tell, biological anthropologist Tanya Smith offers an engaging and surprising look at what teeth tell us about the evolution of primates—including our own uniqueness. Humans' impressive set of varied teeth provides a multipurpose toolkit honed by the diet choices of our mammalian ancestors. Fossil teeth, highly resilient because of their substantial mineral content, are all that is left of some long-extinct species. Smith explains how researchers employ painstaking techniques to coax microscopic secrets from these enigmatic remains. Counting tiny daily lines provides a way to estimate age that is more powerful than any other forensic technique. Dental plaque—so carefully removed by dental hygienists today—records our ancestors' behavior and health in the form of fossilized food particles and bacteria, including their DNA. Smith also traces the grisly origins of dentistry, reveals that the urge to pick one's teeth is not unique to humans, and illuminates the age-old pursuit of “dental art.” The book is generously illustrated with original photographs, many in color.
