Jaws. Do not give him a rubber

seldom clean. clean. smooth. silver
teaspoon makes good toy and at the
same time is safe for him to bite.
Keep the fingers and any unelean ar
tfcle out Of baby's mouth.
Tooth Brush-The health OF the
second teeth depends much upon the
care given the first set. As soon as
they make their appearance babys
teeth should be cleaned each day with
soft cloth or brush. When he Is
old enough, the child should be
taught the daily use OF the tooth
brush III he Is given a good tast-
| ing dentifrice or tooth paste he will
enjoy keeping his teeth clean.
The FIRST teeth are necessary TO
hold the proper shape OF the jaw
until the second teeth are ready TO
break through. For that reason they
should not be neglected. At the first
sign of decaying teeth, the child
should be- taken 10 a dentist
The first set OF teeth is replaced by
! The permanent teeth, beginning with
the sixth year. The sixth year molar
may be recognized as the sixth tooth
counting from the midline Of the jaw
in front toward The back. Because
this tooth comes through at the time
the child is losing its temporary
teeth. this tooth Is often mistaken for
one Of them and is allowed to remain
untreated and to decay. II is espe-
cially desirable that a child should be
taken TO a dentist at this time because
the six year molar is one Of The
most important OF all the teeth.
II sometimes happens that the flrst
teeth are so firm that they do not fall
out. but remain in the jaws and
crowd back the second teeth, max
ing them come in mis-shapen and ir-
regular. Irregular teeth and jaw may
lhe remedied when a child is young.
Beautiful teeth are the right OF
every person. Sound teeth are neces-
. sary to good health.
