'Iier teeth light up her facet" This
was the comment made by o man on
seeing for the first time girl noted
for her good looks without her
brilliant teeth she would be positively y
ugly"
Womoa spend too much time think
ing OF their hair. Of their complex, a,
of their double chin I'd Of their ot,r
physical pccaliarities. ana too little
worrying about their teeth.
The reason for This is not very far to
seek.
1t is painful to have the teeth repair
ed. Again, dental work Is expensive.
The woman who gets her teeth pvt IN
to shape by a cosmetic dentist will have
q considerable bill to pay.
One cosmetic dentisS in New YprS.
was once a sculptor. He s.adied IN
Paris and succeeded in making some
nice bits of statuary.
But times were hard and money was
scarce. SO, rather than starve, he
took to dentistry. He aims to make the
teeth look as though they had never
been out of sorts. He tries to make
the patient pretty.
! TO this cosmetic dentist there went
woman whose front teeth seelnol
hopeless. There we're good filings at
top and sides and front. The teeth
were horribly dark and misshapen.
! Madam" said the cosmetic dentist,
y am going to cut off your teeth end
give you crown teeth. They win nuke
you look young again"
He cut of the teeth, replaced them
with pretty white enamel crowns and
turned the woman out with a row Of
pearls. beautifully shaped and wholly
becoming to the face. The job cost q
lot of money. but 1t was worth every
cent. Similar results are within reach
of other women who can afford 20 pay
the cost.
Some faces are spoiled because the
jaw is too narrow. When this happens
in the case of child. there are var
ious ways to remedy it before it is too
late.
Gum chewing widens the jaw, and
for this reason It is recommend l,i to
young children whose teeth seem in
clined to crowd. The child may be al
lowed to chew gum couple q hours A
day This exercises the jaw snd broad
ems II, making room for the teetn.
The old-fashioned dentist mercy
patched the teeth His idea was to
plug them up with gold SO that they
would not ache He aimed 20 make
them useful. but when it came to max
ing them namenta he wa lslp'cns.
But his smetic dentist is 1ldcrent.
He uses ename.s and he works. not
with an eye to utility alone, but so as
TO make you pretty. The old-lqs1.sLed
dentist did not hesitate to put a gold
cap in front Of your mouth. But the
cosmetic dentist would never dishgure
you in this manner.
After the teeth have been put In
order, the thing is to keep them pretty
Here is some advice on the subject:
I'm the morning clean the teeth with
, good tooth powder Have a brush
= which reaches every portion of the
mouth. Let 1t be of moderately st!fI
bristles and use a great deal OF powder
on the teeth.
Rinse tn teeth with clear water
with a littlr borax dissolved in the
water. and fr this use a very soft and
very small brush. This should be fol
lowed by a l. outh rinse in boracIe acid
"The teet should be rinsed aftel
each meal, and for this purpose there
is nothing pleasanter than a mouth
b wash of peppermint water. This per
fumes the breath and is very refresh
ing. Pour a little of the essence o
peppermint in a glass Of water ant
rinse the mouth and 'hroat with 1t.
Once a week the teeth shJuld b.
cleaned with the finest of pumice stone
Take a little of the very finely powder
ed pumlce and place 1t on the tooth
brush. Brush the teeth lightly and re
member that. while pumice is good ii
. its way, it will take of the enamel
, used too vigorously.
p Just how much of the pumice to us
is a question OF judgment, but womel
who lightly touch the teeth with
once a week are never in need Of haN
, ing the teeth cleaned at the dentists.
