Birth rate and death rate are two important factors which influence the change in world population. Today, the world population is increasing at an alarming rate. This is because of the decline in the death rate due to recent advances of modern medicine and the availability of improved health services.

This rapid growth of world population poses a problem because mankind may soon outgrow the world's food supply. One may argue that modern technological advances and scientific research can help increase food production as well as prevent starvation. But can this increase in food production keep up with the increase in population ?

---------------------------------------------

Our teeth are among the most important tools we have. Without them, we wouldn't be able to break up the food we eat. Our faces would be far less attractive than they are. Communicating with others would be a problem simply because we would not be able to form words properly. Many people think that it is natural for our teeth to decay and fall off at middle age. This is false because our teeth is designed to last a lifetime. It is due to neglect and eating the wrong foods that dental problems occur.
