What causes cavities?
When a team of archaeologists recently discovered 15,000-year-old human remains, they made a fascinating find. The ancient humans had teeth riddled with cavities, caused by the same tiny microbes that affect us today. These microbes, which we typically acquire from our mothers soon after birth, form communities of bacteria on our teeth as they erupt. Depending on our diet, especially sugar intake, certain microbes can overpopulate and cause cavities.

"Achieving Personal Growth Through Effective Behavior Change"
We all have behaviors we'd like to change in ourselves, and we also want to help others, like our kids, spouses, or colleagues, make positive changes. I want to share some new research that sheds light on what motivates behavior change, but first, let's look at a common strategy many of us use. For instance, if you're trying to stop snacking, you might tell yourself, "Beware, you'll get fat." Similarly, if your kid is smoking, you'd likely warn them about the dangers of smoking and its consequences.
