CARE OF THE TEETH

and take pride in the number that can
be filed in a given time.
1t should be the duty Of all parents
to make their children eat slowly,
and chew their food properly. Nature
has placed the teeth in our mouth for
very valuable purpose. II We neg
lect to keep them in shape and to
properly use them, We are inviting con-
ditions that seriously threaten our
health and general welfare.
The disease known as pyorrhea al
veolaris is probably the most preva-
lent of all dental diseases, for more
teeth are lost from this condition than
all others combined. The disease oc-
ours in the mouths of all classes or
people-more frequently, however, in
the mouths of those who have been
rather neglectful in regard to the care
of the teeth. Yet pyorrhea can and
does occur in the mouths Of those who
give their teeth the best attention,
The disease differs from decay Of the
teeth" IN that the tissues around the
teeth are attacked and destroyed rath-
er than the teeth themselves.
The most important thing to be i'm
pressed upon the mind of the patient
is the fact that the best and most
permanent results can be obtained
IN the treatment of the disease when
It is recognized and corrected in its
earlier stages.
The disease generally begins by
some foreign substance, such as tar
tar, deposited on the teeth, causing fr-
ritation of the gums. Unless this tar
tar is carefully removed the disease
gradually progresses and the tissues
around the roots of the teeth are de-
destroyed. Thus pockets are formed
about the teeth into which filth and
bacteria accumulate.
This condition will generally be
manifested by the teeth shifting their
position-either spreading apart or TO-
tating or both; pus flowing from the
pockets when pressure is made over
the tooth root and the affected tooth
gradually becoming loose and the
gums sore or tender and bleeding
easily.
The vital thing for the patient TO
know is whether or lot the tendency
towards pyorrhea Is evidenced in his
mouth and II so what can be done to
hold the disease IN allegiance or check
its progress
No medicine has ever been suggest
ed which will cure pyorrhea and the
sooner this fact is recognized by both
dentist and patient the better for all
concerned. The best treatment is the
thorough removal of all irritating sub
stances of whatever nature and the
polishing Of all exposed tooth sur
faces and the subsequent proper use
OF the tooth brush, powder or paste
to keep teeth and gums in a healthy
condition.

at a recent dental meeting, held in
Indiana, a speaker made this state
ment: The education Of the aver
age man, woman and child has been
sadly neglected They have been
taught to eat, but have not been
taught to use their teeth. When we
bolt our food we ignore one OF the
most important ferments, ptyalin, in
our saliva, that has much to do in the
process of digestion. But the Amert-
can habit is to spit, and the Americans
are the greatest spitters in the world.
Between meals they spit out the in
valuable saliva; then when they chew,
they wash down every unchewed
mouthfuI of food with copious
draughts of water, coffee or in sum-
Nor, iced tea. What a foolish, dis
gushing habit 1t is, and more than fool
ish, more than disgusting, 1t is killing
in its hurtfulness. A habitual splitter
at middle age will have the broken
down digestive apparatus Of an old
man at seventy-hve. Men who bolt
their food, who put their saliva out of
business. are drug shop chasers and
slow suicides"
In answer TO inquiries addressed to
one hundred and fifty leading physi-
clans in this country, IS per cent Of
these physicians said that chewing of
food was an important factor towards
good health, and that the boiling of
food frequently caused cancer, ca
tarrh of the stomach and gastric ul-
GERS. If food is not thoroughly chewed
and is permitted 10 reach the stomach
in large Jumps or masses. there is no
question that il must inture the soft
lining of that organ, producing many
OF the cases of ulcer and catarrh that
need careful and consistent medical
attention.
II has been said that fully rs per
cent. Of the people OF this country bolt
their food. This habit is usually &C
CURED during the early years of child
hood. and carried on during ones
whole life. In many of the homes the
early morning hours are given to pre-
pairing the children for school. Very
frequently they are permitted 10 sleep
late, and then In the hurry and hustle
TO get them 10 school on time, the
breakfast is boIted. These same con-
6itions Of hurried meals apply 70 the
lunch hour and at supper time. From
day to day this IS permitted, until the
habit is firmly established. carried up
10 manhood and then down through
old age. We have a lesson every day
OF the boiling of food. Walk into the
quick lunch room OF the cities and see
these 'hustlers" at work. Look down
the long row Of tables. see the rapid
movement OF the eating contest. for
which prizes are offered TO the fellow
that gets through first. Many OF these
lunch rooms advertise how quickly
you may be filed from their laTder,
