Data from Centers for Disease Control

For these charts, the third molars (wisdom teeth) were excluded from the data. That means, on average, US adults have even more missing teeth than the figures presented, since many adults have had their wisdom teeth removed. For ages 2-5 I assumed 20 total teeth, for ages 6-11 I made my averages assuming 24 total teeth, and for ages 12 and older the assumption is 28 total teeth.

What This Chart Means For You

The survey results are averaged from a study of over 16,000 U.S. residents between the years 1999-2002.

When you look at the column "Percent of Decayed Missing or Filled Teeth Per 100 teeth," you will see that 2-5 year olds for example, have 5.05% of teeth affected by tooth decay. This means if you take all of the 2-5 year old children, and count all of their teeth, how many are healthy, and how many have decay, about 5% of all teeth will have some decay. 27.9% of 2-5 year old children have tooth decay.

Without Proper Nutrition, The Older You Get, The More Decay You Have

Prevalence Of Tooth Decay CDC Graph

What I want to point out to you is that, overall, the older people get, the more teeth they have that are decayed. The chart shows the total population with tooth decay.

What this means for you is that it is likely your tooth decay will get worse over time, unless you take action to make it better.

Cure Tooth Decay Book Excerpt

If dental drilling, root canals, tooth pulling, mass water fluoridation, tooth brushing and toothpastes were the proper treatments for cavities, then we would not see this increase of tooth decay over time. Instead we would see a decrease in cavities over time, or at least the level should hold steady.

In general, the older people become the more they are flossing, brushing and having their teeth drilled. It would follow then that their tooth decay should not get worse since they are following the prescribed protocol. Are we to assume that over 90 percent of the population is not following the prescribed protocol or… is something fundamentally wrong with this "modern" approach to preventing and halting cavities?

This chart is proof that tooth decay is caused by physical degeneration. The longer you live on a nutrient devoid diet, the more symptoms of physical decay you will have, like cavities.

"The practical advice in this book really seems to be reversing my tooth decay!!! Hallelujah brother!!! The dentist wanted me to have two major root canals immediately and two other teeth filled. When I asked him if there was anything I could do with nutrition or supplements to get mu teeth to heal, he said "maybe you could slow the decay down a little bit" but that essentially the answer was no.

That dental visit was three mobnths ago and my teeth have stopped aching all together, are way less temperature sensitive, and feel generally stronger.

Most of us have been totally disempowered regarding the health of our teeth. This information has changed that for me. I bought the book for $28 anyway though. What a bargain, The dental work was going to cost well over $4000.00 no wonder dentists don't seem open to this stuff working! Talk about a biased perspective!!!

Think I'm excited, you will be too if you use this info to take tooth health into your own hands!"

"Not only is Cure Tooth Decay a practical guide to teach parents how to raise healthy children (with healthy teeth), it is also a helpfull tool for adults who have suffered with poor dental health and/or chronic disease. I would also highly recommend this book to people who are looking for things they can do to protect their bones, and their overall health, as they age. In other words, this book is a must read for everyone interested in improving their health." Pam Killeen New York Times nestselling Author

"Ramiel, You (along with Weston Price) saved my teeth. Was supposed to get a root canal (which I had no money to pay for). Tooth was in pain. After three weeks on the diet I can feel a big difference, tooth doesn't hurt now and feels like it's healing. Thanks so much. Unbelievable!" - Leroy, Utah

My cavity has gotten smaller! Once you are set free from being a slave to modern foods of commerce author continues to explain how the ancient people ate. They were healthy, strong and good looking. They had no cavities. They had no illness until familiar western culture came to visit them. If you are reading this review I am sure you understnad something is not right in the world. That we are born to live under a certain hypnosis. That we are taught to give away our responsibility to "people with authority", and those people cannot even take care of themselves. I recommend this book if you want the way out."Ranko, Croatia
