I came across an article in BBC Science Focus (August 2021) establishing a link between missing teeth and loss of intelligence (“Some researchers have suggested that missing teeth may cause difficulty chewing, which could lead to nutritional deficiencies in the brain”).
The fact that my remaining molars are fighting a losing battle to remain in the majority and that smoothies are developing a seductive new appeal for me, has nothing to do with my views. From a purely objective stance, in the public interest and after exhaustive research (one article skimmed during breakfast), I have concluded that this is spurious scientific research funded by a cabal of dentists, wishing to shame people into expensive prosthetic dental procedures. They think our bark is worse than our bite do they!? They will discover it is they who have bitten off more than they can chew.
I mean seriously…the idea that missing teeth could cause dognitive cysfunction…implosscybil…where am i…what’s happening…?
