but an overpowering desire to set

folks to search for the matches
and the finding of two cost Grace

Practically everything I can say
about teeth has been said to you al
ready by your dentist.
The slogan which the dentists have
been spreading through the country
lately is "A clean tooth never decays
| do not know whether this is literally
true, but it is true enough so that
every woman should keep her teeth
and mouth as absolutely clean as she
can. 1t is not only matter of health,
it is a matter of beauty also--which
think is the strongest argument to ap-
peal to, at least the very young women
Health we take for granted, but beau
ty is a thing we strive for.
An enormous number of people are
suffering from Riggs Disease. which
means that the gums gradually recede
and the teeth eventually drop out.
This can be cured if it is treated in
time and it can be prevented by abso-
lutte cleanliness. AS one dental spec
ialist explained it to me, the tartar
which forms on the teeth gradually
gets under the gums. irritates them
and sometimes even forms little pus
cells.
A good dentist in cleaning the teeth
down under the gums so that all this
irritating film is removed. A careless
dentist will only take off the tartar
above the gum and that which is un-
derneath will go on with its bad work.
This is something which you yourself
must be careful OF when choosing your
dentist. An excellent thing is to mas
sage the gums with the fingers after
you have thoroughly cleaned the teeth.
Then rinse the mouth out with an anti
septic.
Your dentist will recommend the
best tooth powder and the best mouth
wash. He will probably even recon-
mend a soft wooden or a quill tooth
pick-to be used. of course, in private.
