Dr. Green Learns Latest Dis
coveries in Dentistry.
DIR. Green returned last week
from Spokane where he has been
observing demonstrations OF the
latest improved methods of dem
tistry. When seen by the Press
reporter DR.. Green said: Eyes.
| have been in Spokane, not to see
the fair, for ! hadn't time to 90
out to the fair grounds, went es-
pecially to meet the demonstrators
from the Information Dental Con-
gress at st. Louis. AS a member
OF the International Dental Asso-
citation | was appraised Of the fact
that the demonstrators would 90
to the coast by the way of Spokane
where they would be during the
week including Oct. 3rd to Sth.
| had the honor of attending the
last congress at Old Point Comfort,
Va, in 1894, just prior to my
coming west, and knew the value
attached to these meetings and re-
GREETED very much my inability
to attend the congress this year az
it will not meet again for another
ten years. Reliable dent lists
handle with great care all new
things and it is at these congresses
that the most reliable features of
dentistry are discussed and any
method receiving the approval OF
that body has had the test of time
by the experts of the profession.
While in Spokane I operated in
the Offices Of DR.. Oliver and DR..
Fisk and the new methods have
received under their instructions
will repay me for my labor and
expense. ! attended, besides, over
twenty clinics performed in the
very best Offices in Spokane by
demonstrators from the fourth
International Dental congress at
st. Louis. The practical knowl-
edge obtained at these clinics l
regard as priceless, because l now
know when adopting the methods
that they are not fakes or catch
peny schemes, but reliable meth
DDS. Dentistry, like everything else
is overstocked with fake advertise
ments and when / receive an
nouncements Of these schemes they
are consigned to the fire. ! can
not afford to experiment on my
patients and for this reason will
not adopt new method until it
is first proven reliable.
DR.. Brewster of Philadelphia,
was in Spokane while I was there,
having been sent to demonstrate a
new anaesthetic. To show YOU
the severe test to which new ideas
are put by American dentists, this
anaesthetic has been employed in
Europe for over five years. 1t is
a French discovery and has been
tried thousands of times without
the least evil results or slightest
semblance of fatality. In the
London Hospitals alone there are
400, 900 recorded cases of it's use
without failure or fatality. With
this record it is now introduced to
t h American dentists through
their association. 1 saw this amaze
sthetic given in over a dozen diff
ferent cases in Spokane and also
took it myself that l might better
know of it's influence and effects.
Physicians attended my pulse and
said there was not change OF a
single beat during the one and one
half minutes l was under it's in
huence. l experienced no unpleas-
ant sensations but simply passed
into quick, sweet sleep and as
simply awoke without the slightest
trace Of any sensations remaining
to remind me that l had been an
aesthetized. We gave it to children
as young as four years and to old
feble men and women, making the
test as varied and as thorough as
possible, each case being equally
successful.
have learned many other oper-
ations that are equally as reliable
My principle study was in porce-
lain work and have brought back
samples OF practical cases which l
performed myself and have no hes
itancy in recommending this work
to my clientele. 1t will not sup
plant gold entirely, but goes step
higher in perfection and artistic
taste.
have a large assignment of the
very latest electrical dental in
struments coming which had to be
ordered direct from the factories in
the east, and also brought large
consignment with me.
