Tho Dread of having Tooth
Filled.

why don't you have your teeth at
tended to p is question which pcrhap'
many of my readers have had asked then
many times: and generally the reply wa:
=" OA | dread it so mlea-it hurt,
50 ~
Now, | wish to say 4 few words abou
this terrible hurting, and dread Of having
operations performed upon the teeth
And my object is, if possible, to remove
this dread and apprehension from your
minds, as | feel confident that | shall be
doing a service to any one who may thus
i be induced to place himself in thc hand
of competent dentist, should any sucl
service be required.
Ii people generally could realize how
much suffering they would avoid, BY
timely attention to the filling of theil
tceth-cven allowing that it does hurt a:
much as is generally fcared-there wouit
be no necessity for the writing of such al
article as this. Bat few people d real
ize this, and so | am going to try, as
said before, to lessen your dread OF thes(
very necessary operations.
Don't you all know that the dread o
suffering is always greater than the suit
ering warrants, when it comes?
Did any of you ever have pain tc
bear, which you beforehand was coming,
that you did not lind very much less wher
it did come, than you feared +?
Anticipation always magnifes sensa
tions, both of pleasure and pain and this
is particularly true with regard to suffer
ing, as connected with dental operations
The patient has such great dread
cherished, perhaps, for long months-o
having anything done to his teeth, that
finally, when he makes up his mind to
submit to the necessary operations, hi
/ imagination is 50 wrought upon, that he
really does suffer, though the dentist has
not, perhaps, inflicted bit OF real pain
How frequently do patients start an-
shrink under the dentists hands; whet
upon being asked if they suffer from pair
they rcply-"No but | thought it wa
going to hurt :" This is the very thing
you should avoid! You must not think
"it's going to-" and geaerally you will fine
that it don't.
Now, as to the real pain attending tht
operation Of ilIing teeth, you may be sure
that it is not very great, aud it will gen
orally be found, that where the teet.
scem unusually sensitive at the first touch
that the scst cut Of the instrument re
moves the most tender portion Of th'
tooth, and the rest OF the operations il
conducted with comparatively little pain
And he e let me say. that you should
always employ do4tist in whom you cal
place confidence, as otherwise you vii
suffer more from apprehension, if not from
real pain. besides doing both yourself anc
the dentist an injustice.
A skillful dentist who has the confidence
of his patient, operates much more rapid

than the he possibly could do, were tn,
