Most Dentists Common
Tooth PuiIefS.

Dentists are continually cautiOning
the public to save their teeth; that is,
not to have them extracted. But they
refer solely to decaying teeth, which
they wish to have the opportunity of
filling or crOwning. OF course, there
is little else to do with a decayed tooth
but to fill it, but these same dentists
who implore you to save your teeth
will pull good teeth without a tremor
simply because they are loose rom a
disease. We wish to r%eiterate tnat
there is no need OF extracting or los
ing any tooth simply because it is
loose. We have a device and a remedy
bv which we can fasten any loose
teeth and make them forever solid.
This is a part of the system We nave
originated.
Now, with regard to diseases Of the
gums in which dentists are so p%atneti-
caIIv helpless. In the course of the
fifteen years we spent developing our
aIveoIar system of dentistry re also
found something that will stop Dus
forming in the gums, that will pre-
vent the gums from r~eceding, and mus
either protruding the teeth or forcing
them out altogether. We can give the
gums practically new life, making
them ruddy and healthy and natural.
We have never 10Y this system to
fail in any diseased condition of the
gums. We mean this u~nequivocally.
A. - ell. +IS-l p,n-Oyranoonr in dom
tistry outlined in our talks. we salt
that the majority of people were wear
ing plates of false teeth when it could
have been avoided. For example, a
person has three or four teeth on TIE
upper jaw and, let US say, a half dozen
on the lower jaw. Perhaps these Ie-
naming teeth are solid. and perhaps
they are not. The patient complains
that he Fan no longer masticate his
food and that he is otherwise having
constant trouble. The dentist prompt
" suggests extraction, n a plate Of
false teeth to follow Have o eve
stopped 10 realize what this means to
the poor victim2 A tooth once ex-
tracted is gone forever. All the teeth
once extracted can never be restored.
The unfortunate one must wear a plate
of false teeth the rest of his or her
life. Think of that,
BY our alveolar method, if there had
been two or more teeth on either jaw,
whether solid, sound or loose make no
difference, we could have prevented
the wearing of a plate of false teeth.
All we require is two or more teeth
on either jaw. With these to start
with we can give you back your thir-
ty-two teeth, and we will defy anyone,
dentist or layman, to tell the su5sti-
tutes from the original ones. each
tooth will be as solid and useful as
any tooth in n human beings mouth.
In this way we nave saved many a
one the discomfort of wearing a plate
of false teeth. and we are prepared
TO save you a similar discomfort if YOU
are in that condition.
We do dental work in all it's
branches, from the simple piece of fill
ing to the complicated and scientific
~alveolar work. You will find that we
are reasonable in all our charges.
We make a careful examination Of
the mouth free. If you would know
more of this alveOlar work, send for
DR.. ReX's book, "Alveolar Dentistry"
a treatise on the teeth in general and
the new method in particular. The
books are free.
