LESSEN ILLS OF TEETHlNG
Child VIII Suffer Little II Given
Proper Food and Abundance Of
Pure Air.

There are probably more children's
diseases attributed to teething be-
tween the ages of seven and eighteen
months to any other cause, and If
the causes were wholly known we
should find that bad feeding was much
mere responsible for these conditions
than erupting teeth.
There are twenty teeth In the first
set, and they begin to emerge from
the gums at about seven months. The
eruption is completed at about two
years. Especially at or Just before
the eruption of the first tooth there Is
likely to be more or less irritation OF
tie gum over the growing tooth. The
child becomes very restless and irri-
table, the saliva flows more freely,
aRd more or less stomach or bowel
disturbances take place. It is true in
this case that the erupting tooth Is
the primary factor in the disturbance
as the growing tooth pushing its way
up through the gum tissue produces
local irritation and pain which In many
cases is so intense as to produce,
through the nervous refexes, exces-
sive impressions on the sense organs
Of the brain and the organs intimate
ly connected with the teeth. The
teething is also responsible for the ex-
cessive flow Of saliva and disturbances
Of digestion.
The process Of teething should be
a natural one without any of these
symptoms, and physicians 80 look
upon 1t, but mothers also believe that
it must be painful and that they can do
nothing to prevent the irritability OF
the child. They allow the child 20 suf-
| fer sometimes excessively until the
tooth energies by what is in fact q
pathologic process which ought to
have been prevented. There are some
objections to helping this process by
lancing the gum over the emerging
| tooth, Just as there are TO other sur
/ gical operations; such as the danger
OF infection, pain of the operation, and
the danger Of operating prematurely
etc, but when these conditions exist
such objections, in view Of the serious
complications that may result, should
not be allowed to prevail Serious
cases Of eye and ear troubles In chill
dren and even commissions have beer
relieved by simply lancing the gun
over an impacted tooth. The opera
ton Of lancing the gum over an emery
ing tooth in a child's mouth Is a sim
! ME operation that any dentist cal
