Slominer: I’m not sure how anyone could or would want to go anywhere near someone who didn’t brush his teeth, floss and only used mouthwash periodically. The stench from this person’s mouth would likely be overpowering? Did they take the same position on showering and other personal hygiene matters as a matter of principle? As to how/why they didin’t suffer from decay, periodntal disease etc, its most likely good genes. For the rest of the world, dental disease has been shown to be a precursor to serious medical problems. Sadly, our health inurance system going back decades still for som reasons treats dental health as a separate world not covered by most medial care reimbursement policies since dentists were not considered “real doctors”.
