General Advice
To the parent f would say if you
value the health and comfort of your
child dont neglect its teeth until se
vere tooth ache compels you to have
them cared for On account of the
nervous susceptibility of the child it
may not tolerate the work necessary
A painful operation may frighten it
so that it will ever bo shy of the
dentist and as a result it may always
neglect its teeth Have the teeth ex
amined early and at regular intervals
thereafter All the evils consequent
from neglect will be avoided This
advice applies in case of the first
teeth as well as to the second ones
To those who think for themselves
I would say select a dentist in whom
you have confidence and consult him
at such times as he advises You will
then save your teeth save expense
avoid unnecessary pain avoid all
systemic trouble having its origin in
the mouth avoid false teeth The
paying a stitch in time saves nine
applies most forcibly to the care of
the teeth

In the office of Dr Fickes you will
be told the truth about iyour case If

Think of It
No physician or surgeon would tol
erate for a moment thatapatient with
a foul septic ulcer say in his fore
arm should from time to fime apply
his lips to the ulcer to clean it Yet
this is pathalogically precisely what
happens in the case of patients with
decayed teeth and suppuratiug gums
Moreover the swallowing of pus is
constant and goes on for years un
heeded by both patient and doctor
Not only is tho constant swallowing
of pus a most potent and prevalent
cause of gastric trouble but the oa
tarrah set up is not simply irritant
but actually infective and may lead
in time to other more permanent ef
fectsnamely atrophy of glands and
ohronic gastrititis and in certain
cases even to suphurative gastritis

The Shoe on the Wrong Foot
An establishment in Cincinnati ad
vertises painless dentists Is not
this a superfluous announcement
Whoever saw any other kind In
deed the exasperating peculiarity of
dentists is the serenity with which
they look on while their victims
writhe Now if some one will invent
another kindof dentist who can do
the writhing himself and let his
patients be painless he will make
himself very popular The ordinary
dentist every time one goes to him
has some new kind of buzzer with
which to explore a hallow tooth or
soraper for a sensitive bone and
while he gouges and files and plies
the instruments of torture he himself
wears the blandest expression of
countenance If when he touches a
tender spot it would set him howling
instead of his victim if when his in
strument slips against the nerve it
would make him dance a jig and spin
about on his toe while the patient
smiles serenely and asks whats the
matter that kind of a dentist would
speedily become very popular What
we want is not painless dentists but
painless patients Union Central Ad

Isnt it the Truth V
In almost any way you may under
take to do your share toward educat
ing the public regarding dentistry the
majority of people will consider that
it is done from a mercenary stand
point to blow your own horn etc
etc We can look back for ages only
to find that when any good work was
started the man at the helm was mis
understood misjudged scoffed at and
even beheaded when time proved him
to be a benefactor to his race The
energetic dentist of today is of course
free from any violence but he is sure
to meet with enough of the milder
forms of discouragement to make him
want to fold his hands and let the
people drift
How to Selecl Your Dentist
and How to Treat Him
PROFESSOR JAMES TAYLOR
Select your dentist for his known
skill and strict integrity Make up
your mind on this point well before
you give him a call This done go to
him for advice and skill Recollect
time to him as well as to every busi
ness man is money State your case
promptly with few words and enter
into no lengthy description of pains
and troubles He hears them too
often Far better seat yourself in his
chair and merely answer his ques
tions for in nine cases out of ten at
a glance he knows your case far
better than you do Never set up
your own opinion above his If he is
the man you take him for he has had
better teachei 6 than you Your prof
fered advice implies a doubt of his at
tainments or an egotism in your own
character either of which you would
be ashamed to acknowledge If you
only want his advice take it and
follow it Having now used his cap
ital pay him for it for there is noth
ing for which he can charge you for
professionally more worthy of a fee
If you want the use of his skill give
him a fair opportunity to exercise it
aright Avoid a fldgetly nervous
manner Recollect by your firmness
and nerve you very much assist in
securing a good operation and at its
close patient and dentist will feel far
better
You should never expect a tedious
and difficult operation to be performed
without some pain and inconvenience
Let this be ever so much keep up your
courage and firmness Never hurry
the operator Rest assured he will
not labor longer than necessary If
he is the man you have selected him
for he must porsevere till the end is
accomplished
As an old operator 1 can freely
say I wish never to operate for any
patient unless I have their confidence
not only that I will execute my work
faithfullv and well but also that I
will do it with the least pain consistent
with success
Let there be a perfect understanding
between patient and dentist We mean
by this you should feel safe in his
hands that he is not uunecessarily
holding the head too tight or cutting
away too much of the tooth or press
ing too hard on the -gold but that he
is doing all this just right and for
your benefit Let there be no crawl
ing away from his hands Your head
should be unreservedly placed in the
hands of the dentist The least twist
or change of position in the head
forces the operator to change also his
position and this often cannot be
done without great constraint and ex
haustion The least change in posi
tion of the head may obstruct tho light
or overflow the cavity with saliva or
cause the instrument to slip Every
operator will tell you that his work is
often spoiled in this way and a filling
half done all lost gold lost aud
time also the operation prolonged
and patience almost exhausted These
things occur often without any fault
of the patient but far oftener by their
want of firmness
Fully appreciate the importance of
the operator and determine that if
not well done it shall not be your
fault but having done all you can
and rest assured it is far more than
is generally supposed you can ex
cept in extreme cases with propriety
throw all responsibility of failure on
the dentist
If you have a tooth to be extracted
make up your mind before taking the
chair It is no place to parley with a
condemned organ No amount of talk
no amount of screwing up of cour
age will diminish one iota the pain
of extraction Nine tenths of the
teeth broken under the hands of good
operators are the result of the pa
tients uncontrollable nervousness
A firm head placed just as the opera
tor desires the hands down will al
ways if at all possible secure a quick
and easy operation Dental Journal
Cleaning teeth is not merely polish
ing the anterior surfaces of the front
teeth It also consists of removing
the tartar at the necks and between
the teeth Tartar makes a foul breath
a red offensive condition of the gums
and often causes bleeding when the
teeth are brushed Mauy people
when spitting blood think thatit comes
from the lungs or stomach Quito of
ten it comes from an unclean condition
of the teeth caused bv tartar

Dental Work
Dental work is work of the most
exacting kind It must be done quite
right or the reputation of tho dentist
suffers The true practitioner of den
tal art takes a great pride in doing a
good piece of work for a patient who
appreciates the fact that he is fully as
anxious to satisfy them as they are to
be satisfied
Ten Commandments for the
Care of the Mouth and Teeth
1 Omit to wash your face rather
than neglect cleansing your mouth
and teeth
2 Instruct your children as early
as possible to take care of their teeth
Tho neglect of youth is not to bo re
paired in later life Tho cafe of the
milk teeth is just as important as that
of the permanent sot
3 Beware of sweets and too soft
food Active mastication of firm
thick crusted ryo bread is the best
natural preventivo against disease of
the teeth
4 Do not forget above all to
cleanse the mouth before retiring to
sleep He who only cleanses it in the
morning covers the well after the
child has fallen in
5 Mechanical cleansing by the
aid of brush and pick is the founda
tion of all artificial care of the teeth
6 Antiseptic but harmless mouth
washes and suitable powders are en
tirely commendable to ncrfect the arti
ficial care ul tho teeth aud mouth
Measures which cauterize the mucous
membrane or decalcify tho teeth are to
be unconditionally rejected
7 The teeth should be examined
once or twice a year by a dentist in
order that foci of disease may be de
tected and remedied before they havt
spread far
8 Tartar is to- b removed from
time to time
9 Diseased teeth and roots incap
able of retention should be removed
under all circumstances no matter
whether they be painful or uot at tho
time
10 See that the prospective and
nursing mother is supplied with suit
able food rich in salts green vegeta
bles milk eggs etc in order that
the teeth may be properly developed
Take care that the child is supplied
with similar food after weaning C

Painless Extraction
First dentist The fact is Ive got
gentleness down to such a fine point
that my patients go to sleep while Im
pulling their teeth Second dentist
Thats nothing Mine are beginning
to have their photos taken while I
operate because they always have
such a pleasant expression on their
faces Puck
In my practice I find that sueeess is
largely obtained through the good
will of my patients If a patient
knows that the dentists wish is for the
mutual good of both he or she will
have confidence in him and will cer
tainly send others to have work done
I leave it to you if it is not to the
dentists interest to do the very best he
can by each and every patron
