Save Enamel
of Teeth
By
DR. JAMES W. BARTON
© Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.
An advertisement of
L a paint manufacturer is
“Save the Surface and You
Save All.” And this is true re
garding the surface of wood,
iron and other materials.
Similarly there was a tendency a
few years ago to apply this slogan
Dr. Barton
to the care of the
teeth—save the sur
face (enamel) and
you save the whole
tooth.
However, when
dental research
workers found that
it was possible for
teeth to decay not
withstanding that
the enamel covering
was apparently not
broken, other cause*
for dental decay
were sought, with the result that
now dentists and physicians reconrv
mend the use of more leafy vege
tables and fruits and less of starch
foods and meatg.
So popular has this idea of pre
venting decay of teeth by the use
of leafy vegetables and fruits be
come that many adults—teachers
and parents—are not so insistent up
on having the children brush their
teeth as they formerly were.
Brushing Still Important.
Now what ubout brushing the
teeth and saving the enamel? Is
brushing the teeth still an important
point in preventing decay?
Dr. N. Kobrin in a radio address
under the auspices of the Oral Hy
giene Committee of Greater New
York, said:
“The toothbrush must be classed
as one of the valuable aids in the
prevention of tooth decay. At the
Dental college of the University of
Pennsylvania Professor Appleton
has done some fine research on the
question of the number of bacteria
(organisms) in the mouth following
the brushing of the teeth. His study
included several hundred cases. The
greatest number of bacteria were
found in the mouth in the morning
immediately on arising. After the
teeth had been cleaned the number
of bacteria dropped 50 per cent; by
the noontime meal, bacteria had
increased 20 per cent and dropped
that much after brushing, increas
ing again before dinner to 75 per
cent, after which the count fell a
per cent when the teeth were
cleaned.” ,
This doesn't mean that brushing
the teeth will prevent all decay bid
it does mean that the chances of de
cay through the surface of the tooth
will be just half as many if the
teeth are brushed regularly.

IMet for Middle Age.
Many men and women as they
approach middle age begin to put o»
considerable weight. They have
peached a stage in their lives when
they do not have to do any hard
physical work and can choose just
about what they like to eat. It is
only natural that with no exercise
and eating plenty of the foods they
like, fat will accumulate.
Now, at middle age, excess fat is
always a liability and if, as it often
happens, the individual has any
weakness, hereditary or acquired,
in the heart, blood vessels or kid
neys then the excess weight can be
a menace to health and to life itself.
The unfortunate point about this
is that while the foods that increase
weight can be cut down with safety
in these cases, the foods that must
be eaten to preserve strength and
maintain body tissue, the proteids—
meat, eggs, fish—cannot be eaten
as freely as when there is no heart,
kidney or blood vessel condition t*
consider.
Some of the suggestions offered tn
these overweight middle-aged indi
viduals with the tendency to heart
blood vessel and kidney complica
tions are:
1. Eat the “lean” meats such as
steaks, roast beef, white meat of
turkey or chicken, lamb chops with
out any fat.
2. Avoid the fat meats such at
pork, bacon, sausage, goose, duck,
spiced and canned meats.
3. Avoid salmon, herring, sar
dines, mackerel, all shell-fish except
raw oysters. Avoid fried fish or
fish with rich sauces.
4 Eat eggs—soft boiled, omelette,
poached, or scrambled.
5. Avoid pastries, pies, candies,
ice cream.
6. Avoid cheese, except cottage
cheese.
7. Avoid mustard, catsup, horse
radish.
8. Salads should be eaten without
oil.
9. Drink water, buttermilk, weak
tea or coffee.
10. Avoid chocolate, sweet drinkv
alcoholic and malt drinks.
11. Avoid turnips, corn, beets, on
ions, garlic, cabbage, cucumbers^
raw vegetables, and sprpe of the raw
fruits that cause gas.
12. Eat fresh and stewed fruits no*
sweetened.
13. Eat all light cooked vegetable*
—peas, string beans, spinach, car
rots, asparagus, tomatoes and cel
ery.
14. Drink a half glass of water an.
hour before meals.
