The Secret of Prolonged Life

The writings on the cave wall in the Malaysian jungle predated Darwin by several millennia, our guide explained. “It is the earliest known reference to Survival of the Fittest, as understood by prehistoric man. In modern day parlance, it says: Be True to your Teeth, or They will be False to You” He continued, “These writings indicated that these cave dwellers comprehended that the loss of teeth meant certain premature death due to nutritional problems.”

I wondered, as I looked at the cave walls how few people today realize the importance of keeping their teeth as these cave dwellers had. For them, the loss of teeth was an immediate precursor to the loss of life, due to the inability to masticate and digest food. How many realize that flossing increases your life by 1.9 years?

Have you ever dreamt about losing your teeth?

I had often lectured about the dream shared by about 40% of homo-sapiens today: the literal melting of ones teeth from their own skulls. I had studied the research of Jung in the Galapagos Islands and had made the interpretation between the dream and the fear of death. Caveman understood the fear. It has been passed through the gene pool to modern man, much the same as the dream of falling.

We take for granted our creature comforts: the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning, or rich leather of a luxury car. For me, the quality of a hotel is measured by the quality of the shower head. Some are deluded by the expectation that dentures are as good as natural teeth. There is nothing like the feel of running my tongue against my teeth after a good brushing and flossing, and how great they feel once again, after Melissa-Michele, my favorite hygienist has polished them smooth.

As I listened to the archaeologist speak of the relationship between a healthy mouth, and a healthy body, I couldn’t help but wonder: How many today, are planning to have their teeth outlive them, and doing the right things to insure it?
