Dental Health
Take Care Of Your Gums.

One dental disease-tooth decay
is responsible for the actual break.
down Of teeth, but disease that af-
fects not the teeth themselves but the
gums and the bone beneath them
causes the loss of numerous teeth
which are not diseased. Many such
losses could be prevented.
The gums often become irritated
or inflamed. This irritation may
vary from mild and temporary con-
dition to a more serious ailment
known as gingivitis, in which the
gums are red and swollen, bleed
easily, and may be painful. Pyor-
rhea-a condition in which the bone
around the roots of the teeth is
gradually destroyed-may develop as
a result of neglected inflammation
of the gums.
Resistance to gum disease may be
increased by a massaging action,
which brings an extra supply of blood
to the gums and toughens their outer
covering. To some extent this mas
sage can be obtained by thorough
chewing of hard or coarse foods.
Many people, however, eat too hur-
riedly to chew their food properly.
Their gums, therefore, usually need
some artificial stimulation.
Massaging the gums is just as i'm
portant as brushing the teeth. When
you visit your dentist, ask him for
instructions in the correct methods
of gum massage. He will also check
your gums for any signs of early
gingivitis or pyorrhea, and will be-
gin treatments for any such condi-
tions that he may find. Such early
plus faithful home care,
will protect you against serious gum
diseases which would be likely to re-
suit in the loss of teeth.
