to Meet at Old Point

The most interesting clinic in years will
he witnessed by the Virginia State Den
tai Association during its session at the
dyeeia Hotel next week. The use CT
porcelain in dentistry will be demonstrated.
Filling teeth with porcelain is entirely
new in the world of dentistry. Just q, lit
tie while ago the thing was not known
and to-day not a dentist in this city prac-
ticcs it, because it has not generally come
into practice and the people acquainted
with it do not demand it. 1t can be used
to best advantage only in certain instances
and is costly, but that will not mat'er
rI,,ch when the perfection of the WORK IS
taken into consideration. If a large SUI
face is exposed. the dentist can use the
r,crce,air. and SO fill the tooth that NOT
even close inspection can discover the ue-
feet For front teeth 1t is destined, Ploo-
ably. almost entirely 10 suppianl the use
OF gold.
