Guided from his general remarks that

HOW ABOUT YOUR teeth?

How would your teeth come through
the scrutiny that the teeth of the
wounded soldiers of all nationalities
in the American war hospitals are
subjected to?
1t is said that the attention paid to
the teeth Of the wounded by the Amer
lean Ambulance Corps is in large
part responsible for the quick recovery
of the wounded in their charge. In
wounded. doctors and nurses and
dentists have found that the teeth
Of the Arabs are almost perfect, by far
the best teeth that come under their
notice. The teeth Of the English are
the worst, and those of the French,
too. are bad.
Now just the reason for this diff
ference in tooth quality has not been
explained. But it seems quite prob
able that some of II Is caused by the
diet Of the peoples concerned. Certain
it is. anyway. that the complicated
food that most of us eat has a bad
effect upon the teeth. Soft foods,
overlooked and overseasoned. are not
good for the teeth, as everybody
knows. So one of the things that
We should all do when we are looking
out for the welfare of our teeth 10 to
look to our diet.
Children shOuld De taught 10 maeu-
cate everything thoroughly, and they
should be trained on hard food. food
that needs mastication to make 1t
palatable and digestible., Bread a cou-
pie of days old, twice-baked bread.
and other things that exercise the
teeth should be a part of their diet.
as much for the sake Of the teeth
as for the sake of the digestion.
OF course, cleanliness is of first i'm
portance in preserving the teeth. Some
persons with really fine teeth do not
use a brush more than once a day.
After each meal. however. they wash
the teeth with water. and rub them
with a cloth or the finger. and give
them one thorough brushing with
paste or powder or liquid dentifrice.
But the constant brushing, they con-
tend, scratches and eventually weakens
the enamel
1t is of the utmost Importance. of
course, to keep the teeth free from all
bits of food that become lodged be-
tween them, and to further this work
dental floss is invaluable.
Especially at night the teeth should
be carefully cleaned. for any bit of
fermentfng substance. like a tiny piece
OF meat left between the teeth. might
cause great damage before morning.
