Re: Tooth update
""The only times I've had trouble with my teeth is when I was digging into the maple syrup too often and too much.
Even the dentist "attributed" it to that.""
--- He didn't say that the syrup "caused" the decay.
""Lol, trusting a dentist to tell you what causes tooth decay is like trusting a doctor to tell you why you have cancer!
This is what he did say --
""He said the
Sugar in the syrup becoming acidic on the surface of the tooth burns the enamel.""
This rings true to me.
Once the enamel has a hole burned through it at the gum line the softer tissue is susceptible to the bacterias of the mouth.
I also had this happen when I didn't have the teeth cleaned for three years.
The build up of plack burned a hole leaving the tooth susceptable.
