"I think." said Mr. Reynolds, one evening, "that you had better take Jack to : the dentist and have those teeth pulled out, the poor kid can't eat his meals." "I can't bear to do it," replied his wife. "Those teeth should come out, I know, but you'll have to take him for me." Knowing that argument on this occasion was useless. Mr. Reynolds gracefully accepted the task and im mediately phoned Dr. Young for an appointment. Luckily, the dentist could see him that evening, so John j wasted no time in having the ordeal over with. It took Dr. Young but a few minutes to administer a mild anaesthetic and remove the loose teeth. Owing to the anaethesia, the operation was entirely painless, but for a few seconds Jack was a little frightened. Once convinced that the teeth were out. however, he flashed a broad, toothless smile at his father. Father and son looked at the ex tracted teeth curiously. "That's strange." said Mr. Reynolds, "I thought baby teeth had roots just the same as permanent teeth." "They do," replied the dentist, "for part of their life. However, by the time they are normally lost, their roots have disappeared." "What becomes of the roots?" asked Mr. Reynolds. "They are resorbed," answered the dentist. "The baby teeth live through an interesting life cycle. Their crowns are formed first; then the crowns push through the gums into the mouth and the roots are formed. By the age of two or two and one-half years, the roots of the baby front teeth are fully developed. In the meantime, the crowns of the permanent teeth begin to form in the jawbone beneath the baby teeth. As the crowns of the permanent teeth grow bigger, they press against the roots of the baby teeth. This pressure causes the roots of the baby teeth to dissolve and disappear. By the time the permanent teeth are arge enough to push through the gums, the roots of the baoy teem have been completely dissolved and only the crown remains. Some- imes, the roots of the baby teeth do not dissolve properly. In that case. the permanent teeth may come in either, in front of or behind the baby teeth. In that case, the baby teeth should be removed at once, as too long retention usually results in misplaced second teeth. 7 . , (Continued) Plattsmouth Is trie reaT large town shopping center for all Caas county people.
