me first permanent molar is the
mpst important of all teeth 1t is oft
en- lost because parents frequently
THINK it is one Of the temporary set.
THIS error is due to the fact that it is
cus while most of the first teeth are
In}the mouth. When this tooth is lost,
nature makes an attempt to close the
space, with the result that the entire
articulation is destroyed. The space
THUS created between the teeth is diff
tlcult to clean, due to the food par
t1Gles being forced into these spaces.
It's loss is also one of the chief causes
OF irregularities of other erupting
teeth. It is the belief Of the entire
dental profession that the early loss
Of this tooth is responsible for more
misplaced teeth and ill-shaped jaws
than any other condition of the mouth.
A noted neurologist of Boston has
called these molar teeth the working
tools of mastication." He says: Their
work begins at once and continues
throughout life. Upon them rest the
full growth and development. Upon
them depends good health during life
This tooth appears about the sixth
year, and it is frequently found de
cayed within the year following. It is
at this time the children acquire a
fondness for sweets of every descrip-
ton, and not having learned the habit
OF brushing their teeth and properly
cleaning them, this tooth in particular
becomes affected and rapidly decays.
With the defect in articulation caused
by the loss of this tooth, the proper
chewing Of food is not possible, with
the result that children and adults
as we'll become habitual food bolt
ers.' 1t should be the particular duty
Of every mother to become familiar
with the location of this important
tooth She should carefully watch for
any defects in this tooth, and if cavi
ties are found they should be repaired
at once, in order that the usefulness
of the tooth can be saved.
The great American habit, "the bolt.
ing of food,'' is one Of the most sert
Gus conditions of our modern life. DR.
Osler has said that the American ma
ton could be divided into two classes
boilers and chewefs, with the boilers
leading by a large majority. If we
overcome this habit we must see that
our mouths and teeth are in proper
condition.. J. Mccarthy, M. D.
