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).
Thatâs right. Barack Obamaâs hero, Abraham Lincoln, was a Republican. Lincoln wasnât just any ole Republican either. He was among the founders of the Republican Party and was the first Republican to be elected President. The Republican Party was founded in 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin.
