FILL THE TEMPORARY TEETH
This Often Will Prevent Their Prema
ture Lew and Consequent Irregu
larity of Second Sot
It la moat Important that the teeth
of children should be attended to reg
ularly. When the teeth begin to come
Into position, they should be brushed i
by the parents. This will not only
cleanse the teeth, and assist In pre
venting decay, but it also will fortr
a habit which will be Invaluable In
after Ufa. Many older children ob
Ject to having their teeth examined,
and it la often Impossible to do any
thing with them. By starting at ait
early age. It will accustom the child
to the different procedures necessary
In the care of the mouth.
If you would save your child much
suffering, and the evils of a foul
mouth, you should have Its teeth ex
amined for cavities every three
months, from the time It Is two years
old. If a cavity can be found when
first starting. It can be filled with
little expense, and no pain.
One tuns that should not be ror
sotten la that there U a regular time
when each baby tooth should be lost
Those children who lose their baby
teeth too soon through decay do not
have, as a rule, as healthy permanent
teeth as those children who have had
their baby teeth attended to. What Is
stlU worse, the early loss of the baby
teeth is apt to cause the second teeth
to come down In the mouth Irregu
larly. and often a disfigurement for
life Is the result of this early neglect
By the filling of the baby teeth, the
child Is also assisted In the mastica
tion of Its food. A decayed tooth la
sensitive to bite on, and the child In
stinctively will avoid chewing on It
The result la. If there Is much decay,
that the child will bolt Its food with
out chewing, and thus form a detri
mental habit which may last through
life.
Another thing to remember Is that
If there are decayed places In the
teeth where food may lodge for any
length of time, such decomposed mat
ter'becomes germ-laden and In many
cases Invites disease.
No wonder that the child, thus ne
glected, often displays a peevish. Ir
ritable disposition, accompanied by a
lack of vitality and a tendency toward
disease. v i
At about the age of six the child
will cut Its first permanent teeth, and
these teeth should be watched for and
carefully examined from time to time,
to prevent decay. These teeth are
called the first permanent molars, and
appear Immediately behind the tem
porary teeth. Most parents consider
these teeth as baby teeth, and allow
them to decay. They do not know that
these are some of the most Important
teeth we have. This tooth often starts
to decay soon after It comes In, but
If filled while the cavity is small. It
proves a very durable and useful tooth.

"FOR EVERY CHILD A TOOTH*
Persian Proverb Illustrates the Care
That Should Be Given the Pros
pective mother's Mouth.
Aa a usual thins, there Is more de
cay in the teeth of women than of
men; this has been variously account
ed for. Some attribute it to the fact
that it is a result of indoor life, and
lack of exercise; others claim that it
Is a constitutional trouble. In any
event, it is known that decay is great
ly increased during the physiological
process of reproduction. The Persians
have a saying, “For every child a
tooth.” and often it would appear that
it might be more true if It read six
teeth instead of one.
While it is true that the teeth
sometimes suiter during this period,
yet much damage may be averted if
the prospective mother will take the
precaution to early seek the advice
of her physician and dentist, to cor
rect this disturbance.
It was formerly supposed that this
rapid decay was caused by a defi
ciency of the lime salts In the blood
at this time, bat now It is generally
believed to be caused by acid eructa
tions, vomiting and regurgitations
from a disordered stomach. Teeth
decay very rapidly where the saliva
Is abnormal, and acid, and this is
largely the condition of the saliva
during this period.
A rigid examination of the teeth
should be made, and the teeth put in
the best possible condition just be
fore. and as soon after this period, as
possible, for Nature needs every bit
of help that we can give her. Where
the decay has started underneath the
old fillings, they should be removed
and new fillings Inserted.
In order to correct the excessive
acidity of her mouth, the prospective
mother should use aa alkaline prep
aration, and thus neutralise the acid.
The tooth brush should be used after
each meal, and before going to bed.
The physician should be consulted
as to the proper food diet, and the
tonics that may be necessary to build
up the system.
The question is often asked wheth
er dental work should be done at this
time. If the teeth are attended to
at the start there is no harm, provid
ed caution is taken not to have too
long or painful sittings. Later, it is
better that temporary work be done,
and the permanent work be deferred
until after childbirth.
By following these few simple di
rections, much pain and suffering will
be avoided, the mother's teeth
will not be lost, and best of all there
will be an improvement In the teeth
In the coming generations of man
kind.
