Tooth Trivia!

April 24th, 2009 — 08:22 am

Up until 1775 it was believed that a magical tooth worm was responsible for causing tooth ache.

There is a name for the soreness you feel when you burn your mouth on mozzarella cheese: pizza palette!

In 1895 Lillian Lindsay became the first female dentist in Britain. (Girl power!)

A third of us make it all the way to the age of 17 without ever getting a cavity but still only the common cold beats tooth decay as the most prevalent disease in the United States!

In the 1800s high class Chinese women would paint their teeth black as a sign of marital fidelity.

Tooth accessorises such as tooth jewels and grills can be used to express your personality. This is not new. Over one thousand years ago South American tribes fixed jewels to their teeth. You can pay over $15,000 for custom made grills!

Your teeth are as unique as your fingerprints! even identical twins have different “dental fingerprints”…

In the past dentures were available to the wealthy but they were more ornamental than functional and could have been made from animal bone!

Tooth whitening has been going on for centuries. In the 1800s some dentists sold their customers a special liquid which was painted onto their teeth to make them whiter.

The first electric toothbrushes went on sale in 1960.

Listerine was first produced over a hundred years ago. Mouthwash remedies have been around for centuries. Other popular solutions have included donkey’s milk and honey!

Some species of shark will shed as many as 30,000 teeth during their lifetimes. On average, a shark replaces a tooth every 8 days.

The first custom fitted mouthguard was made in the early of 1900’s from a rubbe strip.

The enamel that covers your teeth is the hardest substance of your body, but it can chip or crack, and teeth are the only part of the human body that can not repair themselves. That’s why looking after them is so important!
