Colors In Store Teeth

Pearly teeth are not the fashion ev.
erywhere. Firms of artificial teeth
manufacturers who have an export
trade have to keep in stock mOlars of
every shade OF color, from white to
black. There is a steady demand for
black teeth in Siam, Java, Batavia and
Burma, where the natives chew the
betel nut which blackens the teeth.
For Persia the teeth must be absO-
lutely milk white. Recently an order
was received from Bhavnagar, in In
dia, for some bright red and blue arti-
fetal teeth. Smokers teeth are regu-
larry supplied to dentists in shades to
match those which have been discO-
ored more or less by nicotine.-Nev
