Dental decay may be a disease, and healthy teeth may protect themselves, 'without outside aid, by means of min- This idea has been developed by Dr. Charles F. Bodécker, professor of den- tistry in Columbia University, The decay of a tooth is chiefly the result of its impaired resistance to acids formed in the mouth, Dr. Bo- decker contends. He advances the theory that conditions' within the teeth themselves, rather than any hy- gieni¢ measures, must be the basis of cure, In support of his theory, Dr. Bo- decker points out, as quoted in a press bulletin issued by the university, that many persons who give no attention to mouth hygiene have good teeth, while others, whose prophylactic efforts are unremitting, are wholly unable to re- tard the progress of disease, Teeth from which the nerves have been removed appear to disintegrate more rapidly, he finds, a condition which would not occur if the cause 'were wholly an exterior one. He de- clares: » Decay of the teeth is more preval- ent than the common cold. Most peo- plé do not consider it a disease, yet it is a disease and one which not only interferes with the mastication and therefore the digestion of food, but which, through local infections of the teeth, may even cause a variety of severe general illnesses. For these reasons, health workers estimate the consequences of finding a means to prevent dental caries, second only in impoftance to that of curing and pre- venting cancer. The disease is thought to be due to an acid which forms on the surface of the teeth, generated by the fermenta- tion of food debris. The acid dissolves pore mineral content of the enamel, and = us decay begins, If we could find a means of neutral izing this acid before it attacks tire enamel, it would be possible to pre- vent decay of the teeth. The new theory of dental decay, which satisfaetorily explains, for the first time, several p ing facts, re- gards the teeth 2s hein an integral part of the body, rd considers that they afe often influenced by health and ill health. ¢ If the individual is in a normal healthy condition, the acid of decay is steadily neutralized by mineral salts present in the tooth itself, and thus no decay takes place. These mineral salts are carried in a fluid, the dental lymph, derived from the blood, which Is known to 'contain various kinds of such salts, To quote further: : One of the functions of these salts 18 to neutralize acids in the muscles of the body. This is called "buffer power." As the dental lymph is de- rived from the blood, it is quite within the realm of possibility that this fluid also contains these mineral salts which have a like power of neutraliz- ing acid and thus making the acid of decay harmless, The teeth would thus be secure from the deleterious action of the acid. . If the individual, on the other hand, 1s in an abnormal condition of health, the acid of decay is not completely neutralized, due to an insufficiency of mineral salts in the dental lymph. The acid is thus free to attack the tooth, and decay results. Certain illnesses, particularly acid: osis, cause a reduction of some of the mineral salts in the blood, and this may have a like effect upon the com- position of the dental lymph. If the theory is substantiated, it would indicate that there are few really healthy civilized persons in the world, which seems absurd. But we must remember that health is a matter of degree, in fact, of widely varying degree, between the individual burst- ing with energy and vitality and the patient lying at death's door. The con- dition of acidosis is suspected to be much more general than previously supposed, and in its first and often in ts intermittent stages it causes but few perceptible symptoms. Simple as this theory appears, and feasible as it seems in its practical application, it is by no means suf- ficiently substantiated to be practical ly applied in the prevention of dental earies. A number of phases of this problem remain to be investigated. Is may require some years of re ®earch in the various fields. Dr. Bodesker does not dogmatically elaim to have discovered the only sause of decay; he suspects that there 'may be another factor besides mouth 5 This new theory, however, ex- ' ng for the first time a nymber of Previously puzzling observations, and it is therefore considered profitable to , direct research Into the suggested ehannels. i» ere pee of with solid color coats, for b .well an scarf and beret ensembles. { Srl dala deposited within them by the | A Santa Fe Ticket to California Will take you through Phoenix on Santa Fe rails "all the way" from Chicago and Kansas City.
