DAILY CARE OF THE
TEETH rs IMPORTANT

Despite all the skill and science
Of modern dentistry. tooth decay
has been increasing from year to
year. To reverse this trend, it is
essential that you cooperate with
your dentist in the daily home
care of your teeth. Remember, de-
Cay occurs between your visits to
your dentist. Do not neglect regu-
lar visits to your dentist - his
knowledge and skill are indispens-
able - but between those visits
keep your teeth healthy and at
tractive with simple routine daily
care. A few simple rules properly
followed will reduce the number
of decayed teeth you will have.
Reduction of sugar in the diet
The Lincoln times., 1954-05-13

During a recent health check
made by the county Health
Nurses and Assistant Home and
Farm Agents in most of the Coun-
tvs All Clubs, it was found that
Is percent of our school children
needed to have dental work done
Immediately.
Why this neglect? Could it be
that parents and children do not
realize the reaching effect of
the old = fashioned j umpi n g
toothache?"
What can we do to reduce tooth
decay? In answer to this ques-
ton, our dentists tell us to Cd
eat an adequate diet including
lots of milk and very little candy,
90 brush teeth after eating when
possible and before going to bed.
80 have regular dental eXamin-
ationS.
A series of three news articles.
the first of which appears below,
have been written by Lincolnton
dentists on the care Of teeth. Fol-
low this newspaper for the next
two helpful articles.
