[post_page_title]Why some Amish have healthier teeth than ours[/post_page_title]
As recently as the mid-1980s, a majority of Amish – two out of three, to be precise – said they didn’t brush their teeth every day. The vast majority, meanwhile, said they didn’t floss at all. Despite these facts, the study found something extraordinary – the Amish had fewer cavities and a lower rate of gum disease compared to the general American population.
How’s that possible? Well, the Amish of the era followed a much healthier diet with few sweet snacks, so they suffered half as many cavities. Of course, times have since changed, and now Amish face a particular dental problem.
