Learning from animals


Is periodontal disease a disease of low levels of bone precursors
circulating in the body rather than the composition of dental
plaque??

What does that mean?

(1)The cat literature finds there is no correlation between
composition of bacteria plaque in cats and gingivitis.

(2) Cats and dogs get periodontal disease at maybe 3 or 4 years of
age. Kittens, puppies and children do not get periodontal disease.

(3) Bone precursors cells, a form of stem cells, have only been
discovered the last 2 or 3 years. As we age, these bone precursors
cells decrease in number.

(4) Animals age more quickly than humans, but sequelae from an
infection, or allergic reactions occur at the same rate in most
mammals. For example, a mosquito bite's effect should occur at the
same rate in all animals, and staph infection should also produce the
same effect in most species.

Here's a little hint, no one listens to you, just slink back into
that dark little cave you crawled out from.

Go away.
