Dental Health

Prophylaxis is the medical term for preventive measures against disease. The most common forms of dental prophylaxis are frequent and careful cleaning of the teeth, the removal of tartar, repair of cavities to stop further decay, the polishing of the teeth and gum massage.
 Frequent visits to a dentist are necessary to keep the teeth and gums healthy. Those whose teeth are especially liable to decay need the services of a dentist very of ten; in some insances every two or three months. The same is true of persons with soft, spongy and diseased gums.
 Periodic dental care is the only certain safeguard against dental disease. Decay can be checked and pyorrhea prevented and the need for extraction be averted, if the small defects which bring on these ills are treated and corrected as they occur. Such repair usually in- wolves little pain and little ex- pense. Neglect can mean much pain and inconvenience and great expense.
 Another prophylactic den a measure which can and should be performed as a regular routine daily program consists of brush ing the teeth and gums with a good toothbrush at least twice daily, following this procedure by thorough flushing of the mouth with warm water. If the dentist advises, dental floss may be used to supplement the work of the toothbrush.
 The mouth should be thoroughly rinsed after the teeth have been brushed, particularly at bedtime,
The Nome nugget., 1948-06-21

as this will help to wash away bits of food loosened by the brushing. Plain warm water afford a good rinse.
 Safeguarding the general health also has it's effect on the health of the teeth. Common sense in the use of prophylaxis, with the ad- vice and care of a dentist, will help insure sound teeth and healthy mouth.
 The Territorial department of health or your local dentist will be glad to answer any questions relating to this article.
