10 Most Stupid Lies About Dentists That Will Shock You – Dental Practice Management
Check out 10 most idiotic ideas on Dentistry! What the F ! In the 21st century there are still some prevailing ideas and notions about dentistry that will not only make you laugh but also very angry. These hilarious yet idiotic lies show that many people are still not very aware regarding oral health and dentistry as a medical science.
Myth 9: “My parents both lost their teeth,
so my problems must be hereditary.”
Just because your parents lost their teeth doesn’t mean you will, too. Are some dental problems hereditary? Yes. How often is the heredity the reason that you have a dental problem? Very, very, seldom. Only in a very small percentage of cases is heredity the reason that a patient loses his teeth. Just because Mom and Dad lost their teeth due to gum disease doesn’t mean that you will. It’s more likely they didn’t care for their teeth or didn’t know how to. The purpose of this book is for you to know how to care for your teeth so you don’t lose them.
Myth 10: “Lose a tooth for every child.”
I’ve heard this from many a mother. There is no evidence of any sort that supports the concept that for every baby that is born, you will lose a tooth. Yes, it is true that your body does go through physiologic changes during pregnancy. That’s normal, but it doesn’t mean you are destined to lose a tooth or even should. This is one of the weirdest things I ever heard on dentistry!
