Teeth And Disease

The importance Of caring for the teeth has been ne
quently emphasized as a of conserving heaitn
perhaps the potency Of decayng teeth IN causing
disease has been nsufcently brought out One case
recently brought public attention, throws bright
light that subject.
The father of little girl reported to the health editor
Chicago newspaper that his child was belfast with
temperature of los degrees and pulse too rapid to
count The disease had been diagnosed by the physician
IN charge inflammation of the heart lining Medicine
vas being given control the heart action but VIII
ont favorable result.
Inquiry Of the father elected the fact that the child
was very fond Of candy and had been INDUCED literally
n sweets This suggested the health editor that per
haps her teeth affected and he advised the father
TO have the chds teeth examined and any decayed ones
removed.
Removal Of one TOOTH found upon examination to De
partly decayed caused the chd temperature to Ia 10
1O3 and the pulse count registered 190- 1t had also
been found there another decayed tooth, molar
which it had been deemed mpruden to extract because
Of possible shock the patient The tooth was later
removed however, and few hours after its extraction
the temperature reverted 10 normal The pulse re
manned too rapid but returned to normal IN rev
weeks
Professional men have for time been advocating
closer study of the relation bad teeth to disease
and it is their claim that many diseases be traced
directly to germs which have lodged in diseased teeth
and gums and TO absorbed pus. Having good teeth IS
not matter OF fortunate Circumstance It is one Of
good care and 1t is growing increasingly apparent that
good teeth decided factor in promoting that good
health without which happiness and success are most
difficult to attain.
