FILINGS FOR THE TEETH
Gold Is Usually Best for the Purpose,
but Other Materials Often
Are Used.

OF all the materials used In the fill.
ing of teeth, none other has won
quite so universal regard as gold. We
learn from history that it was per-
haps the first substance to be used
for this purpose, and while the man
ner OF using it has changed, it still
holds an important place in the equip
ment of the dentist. The advantages
that gold possesses as a filling ma
terial are many. 1t more nearly ap.
proaches the color of the teeth than
any other metal; it can be easily
placed in the cavity of a teeth so
firmly as to prevent further decay; it
is not affected by the saliva or the
foods that we eat, and it does not
discolor the tooth that is filled.
Many people have no other filling
In their teeth than gold, and with
those who can afford 1t, and who de.
sire 1t, 1t does very well. The usual
method, however, is to rely upon the
judgment of the dentist as to which
filing material is best adapted to each
tooth. For instance, an average
mouth may show gold filings, anal.
gam filings, gold inlays, porcelain in
lays, crowns of various sorts and
bridges, all serving a useful purpose,
and placed according to the dentists
best judgment.
The usual location for the gold fill.
ing is the front teeth, where its dura.
bility and it's freedom from staining
render 1t valuable. Where the cavity
is large and it would thereby be very
noticeable, 1t would be better to use =
porcelain or enamel filling, though as
q rule they are not as durable.
Many people in order to economize
have their teeth filled with cement in.
stead of gold, and while sometimes
this may be necessary, yet as rule it
Is poor economy, for gold is a per.
manent filling, while with the cheap
cements we may only hope for TEN.
porary relief
Some people show poor taste in try.
Ing to have their teeth display as
much gold as possible, much after the
style Of the jockey who sports mas.
sive watch chain. Others carry their
sensitive feelings too far the other
way, and will not allow any gold in
their mouth whatever, even if it is the
one thing needful to preserve the
tooth. Both these extremes are
wrong, and the sooner we get to us.
ing better Judgment the better for our
teeth. The shape Of the tooth, its To-
cation, condition and other points en-
ter into the question so largely, that
after all the decision Of the proper
alling to use is purely technical one.

QUICK Wit SAVED SITUATION
French Audience, True to Natural
Characteristic, Notified by Poor
Attempt at Joke.

Mr.. Harry Fragson tells a good
story of an experience he had while
On a tour in France.
It was about Christmas-tim when
he found himself at a small town
where he was billed to sing while he
played a grand piano.
In French a grand piano is piano
queue, and when he appeared on
the stage with the only thing avail
able cottage piano, the audience
were fairly emphatic in their request
to know where was the piano a queue.
Mr.. Fragson could see that unless
something were done there would be
trouble, and a bright idea came to
him.
On the following evening, when he
appeared on the stage, the loud MUIR
murs We're renewed, and the same
question asked with, If nothing. more
emphasis.
Then MI. Fragson walked to the
front Of the stage and informed them
that he was very sorry the small
space would not admit Of anything
larger than q cottage piano.
STILL" he said, "if you must have
piano q queue, you shall have it.
There is the piano, = pointing to tt
.and here"as he produced q horses
tails the queue!'' #
Fortunately the Jest was taken well,
and 9 fiasco. perhaps even riot, was
avoided. H@ IA.
