Opinions Disagree
Dental carries, pyorrhea and GIN
givitis seldom cause focal infec-
ton, but they do seem to be an
indication of a change in nutrition
or lowered resistance to infection,
or both. The cause Of decay of the
teeth is a curiously complicated
one and the state of our knowledge
is very mixed. For instance, from
a book called Dental Carries pub
lished by the American Dental As
sociation and written by 1875 differ
ent dentists, the following contra
dictory statements are excepted:
Diet-Opinion A: There is no
evidence that carries is produced by
malnutrition or may be prevented
by adequate diets" Opinion b:
Dental carries arises from meta
bolic disturbances which can be
avoided or corrected through the
use Of diets high in all recognized
nutritionsl essentials"
The Effect of Civilization -
Opinion A: "The causes Of all
carries reside in refnements of civ
iization and resulting changes Of
diet" Opinion b: There is no
basis FOR the view, frequently held.
that freedom from carries in
primitive people is due TO superb
ority of natural as compared with
civilized diets"
Sugar and Starches
Sugar and Starches in Diet -
Opinion A: Sugar or starch has
not been observed to favor carries"
Opinion B: Active carries was in
duced in children by increasing
the sugar intake"
Vitamins - Opinion A: Carries
arises independently Of the amount
Of vitamin c in the diet" Opinion
B: The dietary factors of carries
are vitamins D and A and mineral
salts"
With such a contradictory set
Of opinions, common sense has to
come to the rescue. Undoubtedly
the soil and weakness Of the tooth
is important but the major role is
accomplished by infection with the
acidophilus bacillus. This is an acid
forming organism which grows in
sugar and starches. Undoubtedly
properly balanced diet is impor-
tant during the period Of childhood
and adolescence when teeth are be-
ing formed. We may assume that
in tooth which didn't get a good
start and therefore doesn't have
very good dentin or enamel, If food
remnants accumulate the acidoph-
illus germ begins to grow on these
and carries results. To all intents
and purposes therefore, it is .
local disease.
The hidden infections can now
be detected by the X-ray. tits pos
sible that through the operation of
the processes of focal infection
they cause damage in a number
of structures such as the joints
and the nerves (neuritis, neural
gia), the heart muscle, the kid
neys, etc
