Illegal Teeth Whitening could damage health
Everyone these days seems to want a gleaming set of pearly white teeth. Having
the perfect Hollywood smile has created the multi-billion-dollar global teeth-
whitening industry. However, not all is shiny and bright behind this business. A
new report from the BBC states that illegal teeth-whitening beauticians are
putting their customers at risk of serious health problems. These include burnt
gums and lips, blisters and lost teeth. The BBC reports that the General Dental
Council in the UK reported a 26 percent increase in complaints last year from
people who had suffered problems after teeth-whitening procedures. In many
cases, the people performing the teeth whitening were untrained and unqualified.
The teeth-whitening industry in the UK is regulated and the practice can only be
performed by professionals who have registered with the General Dental Council.
The BBC carried out an undercover investigation, which unearthed "thousands"
of ill-qualified teeth-whitening practitioners. Two BBC researchers went
undercover and paid nearly $400 each to attend a teeth-whitening course at a
London beauty college. The course lasted just five hours. The researchers
received a certificate of attendance and were told they could earn $100 an hour to
treat customers. Anyone attending these courses and setting up their own
businesses would be doing so illegally and they could end up with a criminal
record

A new study shows that people today have more gum disease than people living
2,000 years ago. The study is from the university King's College in London and
is published in the 'British Dental Journal'. Researchers looked at the teeth in the
skulls of 303 people who lived between 200-400 AD (2,200-2,400 years ago).
The skulls were found at an old burial site in the west of England. The
researchers found that only 5 per cent of the skulls showed signs of gum disease.
Up to 30 per cent of people in England today have gum disease. Professor
Francis Hughes was surprised by what he found. He said people did not have
toothbrushes or toothpaste back then and did not visit dentists, like we do today
The main reason why modern people have more gum disease is smoking. Thea
Molleson, co-author of the report, said the study shows that people's oral health
has become much worse over the past 2,000 years. She added that she thinks gum
disease could start going down from now as more people stop smoking. She said:
"As smoking declines in the population, we should see a decline in the [numbers
of people with] the disease." Gum disease happens when bacteria build up in
your mouth. The bacteria eat away at your gums and can make your teeth fall out.
People can reduce the risk of gum disease by regular brushing, using mouthwash
and not smoking.
1. What is the finding of the study conducted by the university King's College in
London?
A. 5 percent of people now has gum disease
B. 30 percent of our ancestors had gum disease
C. previous generations had less gum disease than the present generation
D. there is no difference in the number of people having gum disease in the past
and at the present

D. researchers collected data in clinics
4. Why was Professor Francis Hughes surprised at the findings?
A. Because he examined 303 skulls
