The way is sure, easy and pleasant.
The Danger Line is just where the gums
meet the teeth. Unless cleanliness is main
tanned here, and the gums below The Danger
Line are correctly brushed and cared for, they
will not develop into firm, healthy founda>
ton and support for the permanent teeth.
These teeth will, therefore, become an easy
prey to infection during adult life.
Preserve the mporary teeth
1t is very important to preserve the tenn
porary teeth until it is time for them to be
replaced by the permanent set. Children's
teeth are easily attacked by acids, produced
by the fermentation of food>particles left
after eating. These acids cause tooth decay
and irritate the gums, which lead to condi,
tons that may seriously interfere with the
child's normal development.
Your child should have every opportunity
to protect its teeth from mouth acids and
from lowered vitality of the gums below
The Danger Line.
