It’s great to see this debate continuing. Nobody has to agree with anything, but they might owe it to themselves to think a little.
@rixthetrick,

Thanks for posting this.
I could not agree more.
Bacteria likes to settle where it can and our noses, mouths and throats are our first lines of defence against airborne germs.
Gum disease is usually feared for the resulting loss of teeth but it seems as if the shedding of the teeth is simply the body’s way of trying to stave off this potentially dangerous infection.
At all costs.
As a precaution some might want to gently brush their entire mouths (tongue and gums) as well as their teeth upon rising and before bed).
Especially after those sugar or acid based drinks that are awfully hard to resist, but also seem to feed all kinds of unpleasant bacteria in our bodies.
At the very least everyone should try rinsing out their mouths regularly with plain water throughout the day in order to keep their saliva flowing clean and healthy.
