About Gold Teeth
Man first found gold around 5,000 years ago. Since that time, gold has had a significant impact on society. Gold has been claimed to be the first metal ever used by humans. The Prehistoric man probably found gold when fetching water from rivers. Gold has been highly praised because of its beauty. Man began to use the inherent gift to be creative and made ornaments from gold. The sun god, the provider of light, warmth, and nutrition was used to symbolize the beauty of gold. Gold was used in the creation of many sacred objects in early man’s ceremonies. Ancient gold jewelry relics have been discovered in the tombs of the Queens of Ur in Samaria, which are from the third millennium BC.
The countries that have produced the most gold are South Africa, the Soviet Union, the United States, Australia, and Canada. The increased supply of gold led to the gold standard that was set in the leading nations. It has since been abandoned, but gold is still the most valuable investment in an economic catastrophe. Gold is accepted everywhere as a means of exchange value.
Gold and silver have always been endearing gifts, but they are assets of enduring value, as well. Both have become the world’s most treasured metals in jewelry. Gold, as a precious metal, has been used to symbolize wealth and power. Perhaps that is one reason dentists use it to make teeth. Gold is the most ductile of the known metals. Pure gold is an attractive, bright yellow color. Gold will readily form alloys with many other metals. These alloys are made to promote the hardness or to create varied colors. Heat, moisture, and oxygen do not corrode gold. Gold teeth are made in 14K, 18K and 22K gold. Depending on the karat preferred, a dentist can use platinum and silver metals to combine alloys with gold for gold teeth.
