PRESIDENT WILL OPPOSE
PROPOSED WAR CABINET.
Keep
Says
Your Teeth Clean.
You should not use large wooden tooth picks, but silk
floss thread is much better. Toothpicks cause inflamed
jum tissues, and in many cases cause the gum to recede
from tlie roots of the teeth.
Use mouth washes daily as disinfectants. It is not
necessary to employ the same kind always, a change will be
a rest. Be sure the tarter is not permitted to remain around
the teeth or underneath the gum margin, because this acts
as a harbor for the bacterial growth and this may cause
Pyorrhia. Pyorrhia makes the gums blue and soggy after
wards causing you too loose your teeth, all through neglect
of keeping them clean.
I have one of the BEST, Equipped Dental Offices in the
middle west, all built especially for YOU, have shared no
expense in fitting my office to be stricktly modern and sani
tary in every respect.
Any size Bridge made and set the same day, ALSO full
