4500 year old skeleton. Teeth look fantastic!
Nothing in particular to share- just makes me wonder what the impact of their diet and lifestyles was or if they had some forms of dental care. Maybe it was nothing and this was just a young person with straight teeth. Elsewhere I’ve read that loss of dentition was the primary cause of death in early hominids. Would love to read people’s thoughts on the topic. Thanks!
(Also full disclosure- I’m a crna who works almost exclusively in dental offices, but the flair options were both limited and required.)
