The link between gum disease and bad breath
Studies conducted over the last 50 years have confirmed the link between gum
disease and offensive odor, according to a research review published in a leading
dental journal. “A more disagrecable odor” emanated from the mouths of people
with gum disease became their saliva putrefied more rapidly than that of healthy
individuals, according to the review.
Several clinical studies also showed elevated levels of volatile sulfur compounds or
VSCs in the pockets of inflamed gums, and the more discased the gums, the higher
the levels, the review reported. People with chronic gum disease also have more
‘tongue coating’ – and four times the production of odor-producing VSCs – than
individuals without gum disease. Finally, dental plaque, composed of bacteria as
well as protein , contributes to an unpleasant smell. All this adds up to what dentists
refer to as “oral malodor,” otherwisw known as bad breath.

IV. Read the passage below and decide if each statement is true (T), false (F), or
doesn’t say (DS)
Everyone these days seems to want a gleaming set of pearly white teeth. Having the
perfect Hollywood smile has created the multi-billion-dollar global teeth-whitening
industry. However, not all is shiny and bright behind this business. A new report

4. from the BBC states that illegal teeth-whitening beauticians are putting their
customers at risk of serious health problems. These include burnt gums and lips,
blisters and lost teeth. The BBC reports that the General Dental Council in the UK
reported a 26 per cent increase in complaints last year from people who had suffered
problems after teeth-whitening procedures. In many cases, the people performing
the teeth whitening were untrained and unqualified.
The teeth-whitening industry in the UK is regulated and the practice can only be
performed by professionals who have registered with the General Dental Council.
The BBC carried out an undercover investigation, which unearthed "thousands" of
ill-qualified teeth-whitening practitioners. Two BBC researchers went undercover
and paid nearly $400 each to attend a teeth-whitening course at a London beauty
college. The course lasted just five hours. The researchers received a certificate of
attendance and were told they could earn $100 an hour to treat customers. Anyone
attending these courses and setting up their own businesses would be doing so
illegally and they could end up with a criminal record.

V. Read the passage below and choose the correct answer to each question

5. Adult Teeth
An adult has 32 permanent teeth. The incisors and canine teeth tear and cut food.
The premolars and molars are used to grind and crush. The four back teeth are called
the wissdom teeth (or third molars)
The three main parts of a tooth are the crown, neck and rôt. The crown (the part of
the tooth you see – above the gums) is covered by a protective, bony layer or enamel.
And the root is covered by a sensitive, bonelike substance called cementum.
A hard substance known as dentin surounds the pulp, which contains nerves (sensing
heat, cold, pain, and pressure) and blood vessels (nourishing the tooth).
The gums (or gingiva) fit around the teeth, and the roots of the teeth fit into sockets
in the jawbone. Lining the sockets is a tissue called periodontium.
