DENTISTRY FOR CHILDREN.
The Importance of Proper Care at

The Importance of Proper Care ut

Coming generations are to profit by mod

1t is now an acknowledged fact that the
beauty and strength Of the permanent set of
teeth are wholly dependent upon the care
taken of those that precede them. II this

beauty are absolutely insured. One Of the
leading dentists Of the country, who has
been practiclng thirty-two years, afHrms that
not one patient whose teeth he has had
charge Of all that time will ever require arti-
hcial masticators. In fact they are only a
device for individuals whose teeth were neg
lected in childhood and youth.
Trouble with human teeth begins at the
early age OF five months, and in many cases
never ceases until they have all come and
gone. The cutting Of baby's teeth is un-
doubleday the most critical event of its in

to the suffering little one. But this is an oper-
alton that should seldom be resorted to-.
When It is absolutely necessary, the great
est care should be taken that the tooth is
far enough advanced to easily push its way
through the opening made before the gum
heals over the cut; otherwise 1t will be much
harder for the tooth to penetrate the ~cicatrix
formed than the gum In its original condi-
ton. In every case the lancet must pene-

thereafter as often as once In six months.
