Mouth Hygiene Is
More Than Merely
Brushing Teeth
Health Department Issues Bull
letin Of Proper Method Of
Teeth Care

'When they speak of hygiene in
connection with the mouth, most peo-
pie limit the meaning of the term to
cleanliness, but oral hygiene, that is,
mouth hygiene, implies a great deal
more than merely brushing the teeth, !"
DR.. Richard C. Leonard, Chief of the
Division of Oral Hygiene of the Mary
land State Department of Health, said
recently.
Mouth hygiene" he continued,
means mouth health. The healthy
mouth is one that is free from disease
and that has adequate care and atten-
ton to keep it in proper condition.
Since the mouth is the gateway of the
body, it is of the utmost Importance
that it be regarded as citadel that
must be protected against hostile
forces. If the citadel is weakened
through the invasion of such forces
the entire system may suffer. The hos
tile forces in this case are the disease
producing germs that develop in the
mouth especially in the particles of
food that cling to the teeth and gums.
In this connection, it must be remem-
bered that tooth decay is disease
not a condition
"Cleanliness-regular brushing of
the teeth and rinsing out the mouth
several times a day with plenty of
clean water-will help to protect the
citadel from these insidious disease
germs. But nearly every citadel re-
quires constant supervision and at
tention in order that the structure it.
self may be kept equal to the demands
upon it, and that needed repairs may
be made promptly. The mouth is no
exception to this rule. Cleanliness is
an important line of defense, but a
proper diet is equally important and
regular dental supervision completes
the protective trio.
"The power of resistance to tooth
decay and to other diseases that affect
the tissues of the mouth may be in
creased by a properly balanced diet
The early discovery of tooth decay
and prompt repairing of the damaged
structure are necessary to keep the
citadel in good working condition and
to maintain mouth health.
"Mouth health is so closely related
to the general health that drastic
measures are sometimes necessary. A
tooth that has become abscessed as a
result of accident or disease, is a
menace and may be the source of a
serious infection that makes itself
felt in some part of the body quite
remote from the mouth. A diseased
tooth of this sort should be Treated OF
extracted according to the judgement
of the family dentist.
TIE chief duty of the teeth is to
pre- pare the food for digestion. IN
order that this may be &C :omplished
effectively, conditions Ia need of care
must De attended to promptly; teeth
lost by extraction must be replaced
b" a.,I cial ones and in some mouths,
lit is necessary for arches to be
Strengthened so that the teeth may
chew the food properly. The healthy
mouth is one that functions normally

cies and obtain commissions. Thus,
the supervisors escape any appear
ance of favoritism. Approximately
