Parents Should Teach
Need for Care of Teeth

At the time when children enter school
they are likely TO be losing their baby
teeth. and hence digestion is very likely
to be affected by the decaying teeth that
poison the food.
These teeth should be carefully at
tended to, filed when necessary. and
pulled out at the proper time Although
r Is hard for children at this period 10
chew their food. nature has taken the
precautIon TO provide them IN the sixth
year with the best teeth for CHEWING
PURPOSES that they ever get, the So
called. sixth year molars- Unfortun ately
many parents mistake these teeth for
baby teeth and let them decay but the
hest Gaze should be taken OF then as
well as the other teeth that follow.
So important are good teeth for dises-
