Your Teeth Can Tell Scientists About Your Entire Childhood
Teeth store a permanent record of your early life.
The layers of enamel and dentin act like tree rings, capturing:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Childhood illnesses
- Stress levels
- Environmental toxins
Anthropologists and forensic scientists can examine a single tooth and determine what kind of physical or emotional stress a person experienced decades earlier.
