<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It reminded me of an article I read about a
possible vaccine being developed that will prevent tooth decay
altogether.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Interesting. My two adult children (in their
30s now) have *never* had one cavity and have "model" straight teeth.
However, life has a way of delivering blows to those teeth, nevertheless.
My daughter chipped one of her teeth on a *coffee* cup not long ago, and my son
suffered a bigger chip (when he was "horsing around") to one of his front
teeth when he was seven. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently read how *smoking* can really
damage gums around the teeth - and I've never heard of this aspect until
recently (having heard about teeth getting stained as a result of
smoking, yes). Gum damage in smokers is much more serious, and can
lead to serious loss of teeth.</FONT></DIV>
