Abstract

‘No race or family can remain great or even perpetuate itself, if it fails to develop properly and give due exercise to jaws and teeth…and every function of body and mind, is ultimately dependent not only on what the mouth delivers to the stomach, but on the complete grinding and mixing with saliva of every morsel of food before it is swallowed.’ So wrote Truby King in The Story of Teeth, a small treatise published world-wide in 1935.
