Diet. Dr. Frederick Bogue Noyes, 60, of Chicago thought that heredity probably has more to do with tooth health than has diet. Immunity and susceptibility to dental caries (decay) have been traced through four human generations. But most dentists agreed last week that diet is of prime importance, especially in childhood. They were interested in the report of University of Chicago's Biochemist Milton Hanke on a three-year experiment at Mooseheart (Ill.) Orphanage. He found that large amounts of orange juice (at least eight ounces per day) tended to decrease tooth decay by one half. Dr. Henry Aria...
...clean tooth, well nourished and well exercised [by brushing gums], can never decay," was the way Mayo Clinic's Dr. Boyd S. Gardner wanted to amend dentistry's famed slogan...

It has been found in the so-called Rhodesian man of 125,000 years ago.

"The New Dentistry," published by the Harvard University Press is to be a popular and yet authoritative treatment of recent developments in dentistry...

While the gloomy interior of the place has made it an excellent site for the decay to which students are given, and while some of the more decadent may mourn its passing for that reason, none in his right mind will weep at the bier of the lecherous old incubus. A malignant growth, it has been dislodged only by repeated complaints of various natures, and by the manifesto of the Commissioner...
