CHlLDREN'S TEETH

Childrens teeth should be carefully
brushed every day and examined by
dentist at least twice a year. If he
finds any cavities they should be filed
at once, before the nerves become ex-
posed. If they are filed in proper time
it causes very little pain or inconven-
fence and the child will not dread it
next time if properly instructed at
home instead of frightened Many
children need teeth filled before they
are six years old. Some parents say,
what is the use of having the baby
teeth filled, they will have to come out
after a while anyway These same
people usually think that if a button
comes off of their clothes there is no
use sewing it on again. because the
clothes will wear out after while
anyway. Next Monday we will give
you several reasons why children's
teeth should be filled
