By John H. Gunter, DDS, MD
Summary: This document is a forerunner of holistic dentistry. Physician and dentist Dr. John Gunter explains in detail why "dental practice is intimately associated with the practice of nutrition." While most people today, including most dentists, believe tooth decay is a result of bacterial attack on helpless teeth, the truth is that a well-defended tooth, made strong by sufficient nutrition, is impervious to such attack. Carbohydrates, Dr. Gunter shows, form the diet that is universally associated with tooth decay. Carnivorous humans and animals are free from cavities. Gunter outlines a systemic approach to dentistry based on a vitamin-rich diet that confers dental and systemic immunity. From Philadelphia Medicine. Reprint 115A, 1942.
