Describe the EATIOLOGY of dental caries!?


Hi Guys and Gals.
I am studying at Kings College Dental Hospital in London and am due to write an esaay with the title "Describe the eatiology of Dental Caries"
Whilst i am not dim this has got me totally stumped for things to write, if any of you can offer any suggestions i will be very grateful. Many thanks

Do you mean "etiology" or literally "eatiology". Silly!

u r dim.
it's "etiology".

If you use the title "The Eatiology of Dental Caries," I think it would be hilarious. If this was THE assigned title, as suggested by your CAPS, then it would mean that your essay should relate dental caries (cavities) to the food you EAT. Of course, you will talk about sugar intake, "hidden sugars" in foods, frequency of sugar intake, etc.
