AcrIoS OF SUGAR on THE TEETH.-The
Charleston Is. c. Medical Journal states that
NJ. Larez, in the course Of his Investigations
on the teeth, arrived at the following conclu-
sions -
First-Refined sugar, from either cane or
beets is injurious to healthy teeth, either by
immediate contact with these organs, or 10y
the gas developed, owing to its stoppage in the
stomach.
Sccond--If tooth is macerated in satu-
rated solution of sugar, it is so much altered
in the chemical composition that it becomes
gelatinous, and its enamel Opaque, spongy, and
easily broken.
Third-This modification is due, not to free
acid, but to tendency of sugar to combine
with the calcareous basis of the tooth.
