Tooth Decay Magazine Spread
Tooth decay, also known as cavities or caries, remains the most widespread chronic disease worldwide. The term, originating around 1634, describes the formation of holes in teeth. Currently, approximately 2.3 billion people globally have untreated caries lesions in their permanent teeth. The vulnerability of our teeth to decay is multifaceted, influenced by genetics, environment, and behavior. This magazine spread aims to delve into these complexities while honoring Leonardo Da Vinci, who, among his many accomplishments, studied human skulls, created intricate drawings of bones and teeth, and could have been celebrated as a pioneer in dentistry.
