If you’re looking for a fresh perspective on our modern Anaheim bone grafting, we’d like to take you to England and report on a study of 303 skulls that reside at the National Museum there. Before we continue on and tell you what this interesting research is really all about, we want to stress that any bone grafting procedures that we do here at 7 Day Dental incorporate xenografts, which is a tried and tested natural bone material that is proven itself to be successful over the years.
Now back to the study of the skulls and the teeth that were found in them dating as far back as AD 200 to 400. Researchers found when they studied the teeth left behind by the ancestors of modern-day Britons that severe gum disease like periodontitis only affected around 5% of the population back then as opposed to the 15 to 30% who suffer with gum disease in modern England.
Modern factors
Tobacco and some medical conditions like diabetes are thought to be two of the modern factors that have spiked the numbers upward in our times. Of course there are many bright sides to being a modern human as opposed to one that lived back in that Roman era when you consider the same research also found that most people died in their 40s back then.
Theya Molleson from the Natural History Museum has said that the research shows there is a big deterioration in oral health from those ancient times to today’s Briton. However, this researcher also points out there is some hope for lowering the incidences of periodontitis for modern people who quit smoking.
Anaheim bone grafting is often necessary before we can place a dental implant because over time and through gum disease or other types of injury, parts of the jawbone can be reabsorbed. Here at 7 Day Dental we are here to make sure that each and every member of your family gets exactly the kind of dental treatment that will keep them smiling for a lifetime.
Keep in mind that we are available to treat any of your dental emergencies 365 days a year because keeping your gums and teeth in the best shape possible for a lifetime is our number one priority.
