EASY LESSONS IN
BABY RAISING
CARE OF THE FIRST TEETH

Come here Billy Boy, mother
must wash your teeth, but Billy Boy
was so busy playing that Helen
found it necessary to go after him
and carry him to the bath room
where she proceeded to wash each
little white pearl in his mouth as
carefully as if it were of the utmost
importance that not a single particle
of food remained lodged anywhere.
cit seems to me that so much fus-
siness with a baby's first teeth is all
nonsense" said Johns mother, who
was spending the day with her son
and family.
Il don't agree with you, mother,
answered Helen, as she placed the
little tooth brush in the rack. wiped
the baby's mouth and sent him back
to his play Il have been reading up
on teeth lately and our best dentists
say that the care of our first teeth
is of great importance. You see dirty
teeth decay more easily than clean
teeth, and when they decay they
cause pain and must be filled or they
come out prematurely and hinder a
childs digestion, as we'll as spoil the
ptduls VI NllC oCNOilu SNN'
You don't mean to say that you
would have filings put in baby
milk teeth"
"Of course | do. Billy Boy has
fine teeth at present and ! hope they
will continue so, and | mean to do
my share by keeping them perfectly
clean. but if in spite of my care a
spot decays. then it must be filled. =
but don't it hurt the child to
have his teeth filled?"
Eyes. it may hurt a little but
there is not apt to be much pain if
they are attended to very quickly
after the decay has begun. | saw a
little girl in the dental chair the
other day that suffered considerably
while the dentist put in several of
those soft filings that are used for
first teeth but this child's teeth had
been neglected and were in bad
shape"
Il really don't see how any one
can fill a baby's teeth. Don't they
cry hard?"
ooh, no, unless they are very pain
full, or the child is completely
spoiled. This little girl was so
plucky that / was surprised, and said
so. Her mother told me that she had
told the child frankly that il would
probably hurt but she must be brave
and stand the pain like a big lady.
l believe that is a pretty good way
to manage any child, Even when !
tell this baby to act like big man
he seems to understand.
What do you use for tooth
wash for babies? You see this idea
