Whoa...OT for sure. I point the "finger of blame" at softdrinks. Yes, they were around for our parents to drink, but they were a "treat" and even when I was small (less than 10) it was like 1 10oz bottle per week, not two gallons a day.
I think the citric acid and the corn syrup in soda's have done their duty and we now reap what we've sown.

Are they for real? My wife's has her convinced that she needs about 20k of work to clean out her 'pockets' plus some other stuff. What happened to flossing? My parents predated fluorine and their teeth were fine. This seems to be more of a fashionable thing to do rather than a real need. Contagious behaviors among girlfriends and peers. When a future archeologist finds our remains those whites better be in pristine or he's gonna hear from me. Is this a rip off or what? I'm serious.
