SOME PLAIN FACTS
Regarding. the Teeth BY DR.. A. r. Man
hart. of ArdmOre, lad. Ter.

The aim of this article is to
briefly outline the care of the teeth,
and the different methods of pre-
serving them.
The teeth are hereditary good or
bad, and if you take proper care
of your own teeth, your children
will have better teeth than if you
had neglected yours.
1t is as important to keep the
teeth and mouth clean as any other
part of the body. If you never
washed your eyes, and if they were
diseased and you never treated
them-who would be surprised at
losing themi
Do not wait until your teeth
ache, but have some dentist whom
you have confidence in examine
them, and if they need attention
have them put in good condition,
and even then they should be ex-
amined once year.
A case-said man: / am 30
years old and never had a dentist
even look at my teeth. They are
perfect, and / think the less we see
of dentists, the better for our
teeth. -
What an examination of his
teeth show: He never even clean
ed his teeth. He had extraordinary
good teeth to begin with, or he
would have been troubled ere this.
He had few cavities in his teeth,
but they were small and growing
slow, because of the good struc-
ture of the teeth.
Tartar was pushing the gums
away from the neck of his teeth,
and. in a few words, he is one of
those persons who later goes to the
dentist and says: Doctor, my
teeth seem to go all at once"
But the reader of this can see
that they did not go all at once,
but because the man had neglected
his teeth for wears
No child should be allowed to
have tooth decayed far enough
to cause it to ache. No mother
ought to be ignorant of the means
by which this may be prevented.
On this subject mothers must
exercise their own efforts, guided
by the instructions of those who
are competent-made so by a life
of study.
A child should go every six (6)
months to the dentist to have its
teeth examined, but for an adult
once a year is sufficient.
In later life two or three years
may be allowed to elapse between
examinations. But it is a good
rule to consult a dentist once a
year, and then if there is not any
work needed on the teeth, you will
have the satisfaction of knowing
it.
To those who have never been to
a dentist:
Do your teeth ever hurt you
when you eat anything sweet or
sour?
Do your teeth ever hurt when
you eat anything a little too warm
or anything cold touches them?
If so, you have need of a dem
tist.
Remember, if you call upon a
dentist while the cavities in the
teeth are IN their infancy 1T Is less
work to fill them, and much less
expensive.
A dentist is the man to go to in
case of a swollen jaw caused by a
bad tooth.
The treatments employed by the
I
dentists of this day are specific.
A tooth that is decayed. if neg
lected long enough, will cause
toothache. When such is the case,
the tooth does not necessarily have
to be extracted. 1t may be treated
and filed.
