- The average human produces 25,000 quarts of saliva in a lifetime. That’s enough to fill 2 swimming pools.
- Most tooth loss in people under 35years of age is caused by athletic trauma, fights or accidents…my guess that must be much higher for hockey players!
- Most tooth loss in people over 35 is from Periodontal Disease (gum disease)
- Children begin to develop their primary teeth 6 weeks after conception while in their mothers' womb.
- If you don’t floss, you miss cleaning 35% of your tooth surfaces.
