In 1922 dentist Percy Howe read before the ADA that his research team tried and failed to reproduce dental decay by feeding and inoculating guinea pigs with various bacteria associated with gum disease and tooth decay. He said, "In no case did we succeed in establishing dental disease by these means."17 However Dr. Howe had no problems in creating tooth decay in guinea pigs by removing vitamin C from their diet.
Interesting if true.
