thing gained for myself from her
account of her talk with the special

self as to how do my brushing

ment was keep you teeth clean"
This she resented little at first for
she said she was quite particular
about always brushing them at
night and usually after meals. But
being somewhat sensible woman,
she began to think and she discov-
cred that keep your teeth clean"
might mean little more than "clean
your teeth" She thought of the
quite frequent times when she ate
raisin or two, or few nut meats
or lump of sugar when she was
cooking or perhaps ate an apple or
bit of candy when she sat down
to read or sew in the afternoon,
and so did often have some thing
that might cause decay. She says

that it is not altogether easy for
her to break this habit, but that
she is gaining on it. Her idea
seems to be that she has tried to
keep her house clean and her be-
longings clean and her body clean
but that she has failed somewhat
as to her teeth, even though she
had the danger signal years ago.
Now perhaps there is not one of
you or your friends who have this
danger signal but | think it more
likely that there are many of you
who have it and know ii not. The

where in their normal state they
should be pink. This lady says that
for years her gums and teeth both
cred her and as she was not always
in the same town, she had work
done by several dentists, none of
whom told her what was the real
trouble. They just cleaned or fill
ed or crowned or bridged as the
occasion required but said nothing
of what should be done with the
gums, which needed special atten-
ton. After a while she CHANGED to
go to a dentist who was called a
crank by many and he told her at
once that she had pyorrhea and that
she would lose all her teeth if
nothing was done. She was then a
young woman, and the treatment he
gave put them in shape so that,
while they give her more trouble
than they would had she known
what to have done for them sever
al years earlier, she still has her
natural teeth instead of the much
dreaded false ones. Recently they
have been troubling her some as she
had had no thorough treatment for
that special disease for some years.
She went to her regular dentist
and he being a broad minded and
progressive man and knowing his
own limitations, advised her to go
to specialist who does no regular
dental work of the kind that most
of us know most about. He devot-
es his whole time to treating the
gums for this destructive pyorrhea
and to what is known as oral pro-
phalaxsis, which, as l understand
it, is also. preventive measures in
other line. He advises with other
dentists who are broad enough to
realize that he has knowledge be-
yond theirs, and he gives a most
thorough and efficient treatment
with advice FOR the person to fol-
low. This friend said that he said
seventy five per cent. of the women
Of her age needed this treatment in
a greater or lesser degree. This
disease is not at all frequent in
children's gums, but comes usually
in adult life. The special treatment
is quite expensive, but my friend
thinks she'd rather wear her two
year old suit furnished up this year
and keep her own teeth few years
longer. She says she is also going
to give up a long looked forward
to trip up the lakes, and go again
for further treatment till each tooth
is in shape. The delicacy of the
work required makes the process a

A Danger Signal


The care that each of us should
bestow on our teeth is already SD
well emphasized and l think so
much better observed than it was a
decade or two ago that it probably
needs no additional word from me
i'm this department. The mother
knows she must be watchful of the
child'S teeth and that she must
teach him the great Importance Of
taking care of them as soon as he
is old enough. If she lives in a
progressive city, her child will have
the advantage of the dental inspec.
ton and instruction in the public
schools. If she is in a rural dis
trict, she will have to depend more
on her own knowledge and perhaps
occasionally an examination when
she may call on some dentist in
town. Perhaps there may be some
mother who reads this column, who
has not yet begun to teach her
child the systematic care of his
teeth. If SO, perhaps this may start
her thought in that direction and
she may make a beginning that will
be a preserving of the child's teeth
as they should be. | asked young
mother with a boy about six years
old what care she gave his teeth
and she said, ooh, none yet! That
can come later" Unless she woke
up at my suggestion | fear that "lat-
er" will be when the boy himself
realizes that he has not taken the
care of his teeth that he should have
taken, and that period may be too
late to prevent all the injury caus-
ed by neglect. The regular inspec-
ton by competent dentist several
times year, whether the teeth
seem to need it or not, is a wise
precaution.
But while all this is of prime inn
portance il was of another phase
of the subject that | was thinking
when | said "A Danger Signal"
Perhaps | can make this more en-
phatic if | tell you the experiences
of friend of mine, who is now
woman approaching middle aged"
or at least she says she was so de-
scribed on her railroad ticket last
summer. She has a disease of the
gum which the dentists call pyor-
rhea, and which many of them do
not try to treat at all, either from
lack of knowledge or from lack of
equipment and instruments. The
danger signal is the bleeding of the
gums or perhaps in the earlier
stages just redness of the gums

drawn from the National Ski AS

too much for their presence at
