The mechanics of oral health are really interesting in regards to foods and chewing them. It seems like processed foods are likely a massive contributor to declining oral health. The more you need to chew your food, the better, from what I can tell.

Our foods used to be way harder to consume. Not only would that lead to people having healthier teeth and gums (just like your pet dog!), but it likely helped people maintain healthier body weights as well.

Poor oral health also leads to a lot of other problems, stemming from bacterial infections that can spread to almost anywhere else in the body.
