crowd between his teeth. There are
some who, for politeness sake, deplore
the use of the toothpick. While IL ia
not an article to use at all times and
at all places, TO discard 1t altogether
would prove disastrous.
The best toothpick Is one Of quill
its aexibllity, and the ease with which
It is used making It ideal The OBJ
lection to the wooden toothpick is
that 1t is bulky, and liable to injure
the gum tissue and the delicate mem
brane surrounding the tooth; It some
times slivers. producing wounds and
Inflammation in the gums. The metal
toOthpick is also inadVisable, and the
habit of using pins and other metallic
instruments as toothpicks should be
condemned. In using a toothpick care
should be taken; It is not enough that
the food be removed, but also that it
be removed gently. The gum which
grows between the teeth has a very
valuable use and should not be crowd
ed out. Occasionally We find one
whose teeth are so perfect in shape
and the gum tissue so healthy that the
toothpick IL unnecessary, but for the
ordinary individual too much stress
cannot be laid on the need of its use
and the care which Is necessary
Where the teeth are filed, care should
be taken not TO use force, and there

to the filing OF otherwise injure the
filling, and the habit OF chewing
toothpick is bad one.
In using the pick often one may find
a tooth which gives evidence Of pain.
In such a case II Is well to learn at
once whether or not there is a cavity
forming in the tooth. Often, too. the
pick viii give you first knowledge Of
tartar accommodating about the uecks
of the teeth, and when this is discoV-
cred haste should be made TO have II
removed. This you cannot do with
the brush; the only way IS can be re
moved is with the aid Of special IN
struments BY allowing the tartar 10
accumulate. you run the risk of con
tracing that dread disease known az
pyorrhea.
Thus we find that the toothpick ia
indeed a valuable instrument when
rightly used, and II IT is employed
after each meal We will derive much
satisfaction from the comfort II gives
Us, as well as protection from decay

CARE OF THE TEETH

we 90 not see az many sets of ar
ttficial teeth today as We did twenty
years ago, since it has been learned
that there is no substitute that will
equal the natural organs. In the time
of our grandfathers, if a tooth ached
It was Immediately extracted and it
was common sigh! to see many peo-
pie going about with a large number
of teeth out. So Lauch was this the
case that IT became a matter of alarm
among some of the scientists lest the
human race was to become toothless
Nowadays, with improved methods,
there is little excuse for anyone to
lose a single tooth.
In those mouths where only a few
teeth are lost. and bridgework can
not be used, 1t is desirable to use the
partial plate. This can be used with
out the extraction Of any more teeth.
1t simply fills in the gaps caused by
the loss Of the teeth which have al
ready been removed. II these plates
are carefully fitted and the adjoining
teeth well matched, they will do very
well in the matter Of appearance.
When there are very few natural
LCCAA AZ IAO L4OuAAB ana these IN DdQ
condition, 1T is often better to remove
all the remaining teeth and have full
plates inserted. Especially is this
rue where the gums are badly dis
eased, and the teeth are Ioosened by
pyorrhea. On the extraction of the
.eeth this disease usually disappears.
Within the last few years there
nave been many improvements In the
9rocess)of making plates, especially in
he method of taking the impression
II the mouth, and of arranging the
leeth. The scientific principles under
wing the movement Of the Jaw have
been worked out, with the result that
lew apparatus and new mouldg Of
.eeth were required. This anatomical
articulation, as It Is called. produces
ar better results than the old process.
There is greater ability to thoroughly
thew the food, the teeth fit better and
ire much better In appearance.
In the making Of artificial teeth,
ARE should be Observed in selecting
he proper form and color of the teeth
% be used. Patients often demand
mall, white. even teeth, hoping thus
20 improve their appearance The re-
suit is likely to happen in such cases
hat the teeth present a CHASTITY ap-
Dearance- The color of the teeth and
the form depend largely upon the col
sr Of the hair and eyes, and other
characteristics. The size should cor
respond to the size Of the jaw. Many
people initiate quite successfully their
natural teeth by having the artificial
teeth slightly irregular, as were their
OVID teeth before they were lost.
