How do you explain a 72 year old male who hasn't been to the dentist for 50 years can still have perfect teeth?

[quote:Anonymous Coward 15549484:MV8yMDU0Mjg3XzM0NTMxNjUxXzE2MkE2RTMw] Teeth have the capacity to regenerate too ! Just like the skin regenerates itself after a cut, teeth are a living organism that can heal themselves as well ! The idea that when you get a cavity you need to go to the dentist to get it destroyed and the get a filling is very wrong and has been spread and maintained by doctors and by the tooth care industry ! How do you explain children in Africa who die of starvation but have perfectly white teeth ! The answer ? Phytic Acid ! Read more about the effects of Phytic acid and how it inhibits the body's ability to absorb calcium and other minerals...thus preventing the teeth from healing cavities ! http://wellnessmama.com/1756/how-toreverse-tooth-decay-and-avoid-braces-by-changing-one-dietary-factor/ Just scroll down ^^ this page !

My dad!
I insisted he go to the dentist at least for a clean.
The dentist was completely gob smacked.. He took photos to get right into my dads crooked teeth and not a cavity in sight.. Still beautifully white as well..
My dad has not looked after himself since my mother died and I doubt he cleans his teeth often.
The only thing I can think of is my dad eats 4 pieces of toast every morning with Vegemite an inch thick on each piece. The dentist thinks maybe the high salt content had preserved his teeth..
Anyone else no anyone who still has a completely perfect set of teeth at this age??
