Question: When and where were the first dental bridges made?

Answer: According to Marshall Joseph Becker in "The Valsiarosa Gold Dental Appliance," from ETRUSCAN STUDIES: JOURNAL OF THE ETRUSCAN FOUNDATION. VOLUME 6, 1999, the first use of dental appliances or bridges comes from the Etruscans, whose masterful goldworkers made gold dental bridges for women so they could show off their wealth. Becker says the Etruscans were the first to use dental bridges and retention bands over 2600 years ago. Some Etruscan women would have their incisors removed (a process called "tooth ablation" or evulsion) so they could be fitted with the gold prosthetics.

Gum disease a HUGE factor in overall health

"We all think that cholesterol is important to heart disease. The health of your gums is a more important predictor of whether you will have a heart attack or not."

Mehmet C. Oz, M.D.
Director, Cardiovascular Institute
Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY

The health of your mouth, teeth and gums has a direct impact on your overall health. Recent reports have linked gum disease with heart disease, stroke, diabetes and low-birthwieght babies. Furthermore, researchers have found that a history of gum disease can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 64%. The bacteria that cause the gums to become inflamed can travel throughout the body.
