Ninety to Ninetyâ€"Five Per Cent. of Children Have Décayed Teeth. BY DR. WILLIAM H. LEAK. Not Due to Heredity. ‘ Heredity as little to do with the strength or texture of our teeth; food which we eat has much to do with this. The greatest reason why many of our grandfathers had good teeth was beâ€", cause they ate better and more wholeâ€" | some foods than we do toâ€"day. They‘ ate the netural foods, practically preâ€" paring them altogether themselves, taking into their bodies the whole of the grain or vegetable wit‘hout its beâ€" ing prepared in a factor; and having some of its best parts removed to make it more pleasant in appesarance ; and then doctored to tickle the pa.llat;e.I The greatest factor in the prevenâ€"| tion of tooth decay, as already stated,| lies in the foods we eat. These operate in different manners. This does not; mean that if we have bad teeth that} we may alter them or prevent their| decaying, prestoâ€"chango, by changing our diet, as gome dietitians and nutriâ€" tionists would lead us to believe. In this conmection we must remember that the baby teeth start their develâ€" opment early in uterine life, are built up very slowly, do not erupt until thel child is about six months of age and from then on until three years of agae,l and that even after they erupt the hmots are not completed for two or three years. The second teeth start to form late in uterine life and during the first year of infancy, slowly deâ€" ‘,velop, erupting in the mouth at beâ€" tween the ages of six and twelve years; the roots take even a longer period to form. ) It can not be said that there is a deâ€" finite circulation in the tooth strucâ€" ture; when it is once laid down, 'changes, if at all possible, must take !'_pbace by osmosis, which is a very slow Memee Ne mt n e o es dem e Cl mm n o P j i ich i very slow| Not long ago I found a truck farmer piho(;zsl;y ;mfi:r?tfi EI: is evident| who has hit upon a rather spectacular pt:hen that the tooth structure is deâ€" ::g 9“‘-::;“ W;‘Y gf catching the eye, b lers, cash of passing motorists. pendent in a large measure upon the/ 5o puit a windmill about 10 feet in food of the prospective mother @Md|spread of fans and mounted it in a ‘rpon the food of the infant.

The straight back and forth motion does not crowd the bristles between the teeth, it simply polishes the high surâ€" faces and actually forces food between the taeth where it may cause the teeth to decay. Statistics as to the surfaces upon which decay takes place show us that a large percentage of teeth decay on the eating or masticating surfaces. Therefore, especial attention shou‘d be given to brushing vigorously the eatâ€" ing surfaces in al} directions. Dental decay is preventable. There is no reason why we should have large cavities in our teeth, The best people are beginning to appreciate this and already we have little children growâ€" ing up whose mothers have wisely chosen proper food and seen to it that their babies were properly fed. With proper foods and ordinary dental cleaniliness, a few boys and girls are now growing up virtually free from tooth decay. In a few years it will be considered disgraceful to have teeth as badly decayed as most people have toâ€"day, ‘The time is coming when at six and seven years of age not 20 per cent. of the chiliren will have decayed teeth; toâ€"day 90 to 95 per cent. of children of theso ages have decayed teeth and this tragedy could be pre vented by wise care.
