As per scientists from University of Bristol, several of the earliest dinosaurs were historically omnivorous. Their diets were figured out by examining their tooth forms.
A vaping habit could end up leading to a tarnished smile, and more frequent visits to the dentist.
Research by faculty from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine found patients who said they used vaping devices were more likely to have a higher risk of developing cavities. With CDC sur
The foods we eat on a regular basis influence the makeup of the bacteria -- both good and bad -- in our mouths. And researchers are finding that this collective of bacteria known as the oral microbiome likely plays a large role in our overall health, in addition to its previously known assoc
Prominent organizations including the World Health Organization and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have dismissed low-carbohydrate diets that prevent tooth decay in favor of recommending high-carbohydrate diets which rely on fluoride and food fortification to mitigate dental damage an
Every time you chew, talk, yawn, or sense the zap of a toothache, cranial nerve cells are shuttling electrochemical signals to your brain. Some of these neurons detect pain, while others sense facial muscle movements or sensations in the skin.
Washington [US], October 7 (ANI): A cross-kingdom partnership between bacteria and fungi can result in the two joining to form a "superorganism" with unusual strength and resilience.
Washington [US], September 18 (ANI): Researchers have recently perfected hydroxyapatite, a material for mineralizing bones and teeth. They did so by adding a complex of amino acids to hydroxyapatite and were able to form a dental coating that replicates the composition and microstructure of
Washington [US], September 3 (ANI): Water fluoridation has a lower environmental impact than other preventive methods for tooth decay, according to researchers. The study's findings also enhance the case for water fluoridation programmes to minimise dental decay, particularly in the most vul
Washington [US], August 30 (ANI): Researchers have demonstrated the low environmental footprint of water fluoridation compared to other preventive measures for tooth decay. Research findings also strengthen the case internationally for water fluoridation programs to reduce dental decay, part
Lisbon [Portugal], August 16 (ANI): White blood cells that reside in the intestines, a particular class of immune cells known as tissue-resident lymphocytes, use sugar as an energy source and have a faster metabolism than lymphocytes that circulate in the blood, according to a recent study.
