NewsStudy reveals what smoking does to oral bacteria
The father of biotechnologist Giacomo Antonello, a dentist, sometimes amazed patients with his seemingly clairvoyant diagnostic abilities: one look in their mouth and he would advise them to see a specialist, because, he explained, they might have a problem with their heart or diabetes. He often turned out to ...
