I talk with Dr. James T. Watson about all things teeth. Dr. Watson studies the wear patterns on ancient teeth and his research primarily centers around the hunter-gatherer populations of the Americas. Dr. Watson explains how dietary habits can drastically affect the teeth, the difference between oral hygiene and oral health, and possible evidence of people caring for their teeth. We also discuss the process of analyzing dental remains and the importance of dentition in archeology.
