If youâre like most people, you would probably guess that itâs cavities. Unfortunatelyâ¦youâd be wrong. It is generally accepted that the leading cause of tooth loss in people over 35 is periodontitis, more commonly known as gum disease. In people under 35, cavities are the leading cause of tooth loss. Teeth are normally held firmly in place under your gums by a strong bone called alveolar bone.
There have only been four presidents of the United States who were Democratic-Republicans (Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams), and only four who were Whigs (William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Millard Fillmore).
The first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln. It was a anti slavery party and the Northern anti slavery Democrats broke away to join it. At the time it stood for  the 1856 slogan free labor, free land, free men.
