For most people, the oral cavity (mouth) is a mysterious place. It is difficult to see and it changes throughout life's stages from childhood, to middle age and through into old age. Teeth seem to come and go in a bewildering pattern of events, giving rise to a number of popular myths that see some people convinced that their child had '12 rows of teeth like a shark'. Overcrowding, bleeding gums, extra long teeth and 'black stumps' are perfectly explainable in terms of hygiene and heredity. Nevertheless, popular stories abound that are designed to excuse the condition on a range of grounds that deflect the blame from the family or individual who, most often, simply has poor oral hygiene.
The good news is that, notwithstanding some hereditary conditions, dental disease can be so easily prevented. Prevention requires daily brushing and flossing and a conscious effort to avoid sweet, sticky foods that lie around the teeth and gums. Generally, the reason most people see a dentist is because they have toothache. This is much like locking the gate after the horse has bolted. If more people visited the dentist regularly, as part of their annual health plan, dental disease would not be the most prevalent disease in the world.
