HINTS ABOUT THE TEETH.
A Foreigner Who Criticizes Tendency
to Gold Filings in This Country.

From the New York Sun.
The dentists of this country" said q
foreigner, may be the best in the
world and their success in all other
countries has indeed proved that, but
1t is nevertheless the fact that one
sees more gold in the mouths of the
women here than could be found any
where else in the world. 1t may be
that dentistry is cheap and in the
reach Of everybody. Whatever the
reason, this peculiarity is not beaU-
ty Of American women, and if the prac.
tice increases during the next ten years
as it has during the past decade there
will be Stiil more to criticise in the
looks of the women. saw an actress
the other evening whose mouth might
have served for dentists sign, SO
carefully We're all her teeth built up
with gold. She was not supposed. Of
course, 10 be anything beautiful and
was Il comedienne to be laughed at.
Nevertheless she would have been very
much more entertaining II the amount
of gold had not been so very appar-
enr In Europe many Of the dentists
have used with women the new por.
celain filings, which are white, and in
nearly every way exactly like the nat
ural teeth The great defect in them
is their frailness. They are very like
ly. for Instance, to break after one
suddenly drinks cold water or drop
out of the tooth as easily as II they
had never been put there to stay. The
effect While 1t lasts Is, Of course, very
much more likely to increase the APP
pearance of the mouth. but the system
as substitute of metal has not been
a success.
EVERY now and then one hears of
some new invention to take the place
of gold, So far they have all failed,
Now a new formula has been dscov-
cred which is said to combine the vis-
ual merits of the porcelain with the
enduring property of the gold. In
that case many women will have cause
to be grateful and SO will men who are
weary with the sight of women with
gold in their mouths. A great many
of them who stand in need of this
kind of treatment get in such condi-
tion through rubbing their teeth too
much and too hard. l read the other
day of a man old enough to know bet :
ter who advised everybody to clean
their teeth three minutes twice Il day.
He said that at least three minutes OF
hard rubbing was necessary, and as
II shorter time could produce no good
results, he advised everybody to do this
first by the clock in order to get into
the habit. A dentist told me that this
would certainly rub the enamel Off the
strongest teeth II it were kept NY. II
Is just AS bad as the idea that some
persons have that n stiff tooth brush
so hard that 1t is almost painful is the
best kind. As a matter of fact tooth
brush to be properly used should al
ways be soaked for several minutes,
at least ten and not more than fifteen,
In glass of water. Then it will not
only do It's work much better. but
prove advantageous instead of injur-
i0us to the teeth"
