CROWNS ON TEETH.
A crown. well made, properly
fitted and set on a tooth root. re-
stores the root 10 its former use
fuiness and beauty. and Outlines
surpasses In appearance the natur-
al tooth. such care and skill is ex-
ercised by the scientific dentist
that any tooth In the mouth may
be crowned without detection of
artificial substitution for natures
dental organs.
A tooth may be decayed so badly
that only the root remains. yet IN
the root Is a solid, healthy one. a
crown may be made TO look 80
natural that detection Is impossi-
Bile. Tooth crowns are OF all
grades and makes. and the average
person does not know the cheapest

A gold crown is not the most ex.
pensiye: IL IL easily and quickly
made by the skillfui dentist. The
Richmond crown Is made TO order
for each individual tooth, and is the
best crown. both for looks and
wear. on all teeth except molars
or jaw teeth. A cheap substitute
for the Richmond crown is often
imposed on the patient by so-cailed
ethical dentists, whose limited prac-
tice In the dental profession does
not afford them an opportunity OF
becoming competent In the ad-
yanced practice and principles Of
dentistry.
Crown and bridge work as Il is
known in dentistry today was
never known In the world until the
year 1900. and many new and
valuable discoveries have been
made In crown work since 1900. and

Few dentists are competent to do
crown and bridge work In a manner
which will permit a guarantee to

violation of the code OF ethics of
the Washington State Dental So
