Origin[]
Credited as the father of modern dentistry, Pierre Fauchard wrote the first complete scientific discourse on dentistry. His book studied oral structure, tooth decay, dental filings and tooth removal. He also theorized that sugar was a strong cause of tooth damage and disproved the theory that teeth spontaneously grew, instead separating from the root canal when in their first stage of growth.
Effects[]
Taking out a diseased tooth with them will help foster the growth of a new, healthy tooth. Placing sugar on it while it still in baby form can jellify it, making it edible and unable to be repaired or regrown.
