January 7, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 41 Care of Child's Teeth Essential in Early Years If proper attention is given to a child's teeth during the first twelve years of its life, a lifetime of mouth misery can be averted and the child as it grows older will have at least one of life's handicaps removed, according to dental specialists at the Children's clinic of the University of Illinois col- lege of dentistry. The baby teeth that are shed about the twelfth year of a child's life are the guideposts for the permanent teeth that follow them. If the baby teeth are well cared for and are straight. there should be no crooked or badly formed permanent teeth. If they are allowed to decay or if they are crook- ed and not straightened, there is a probability that the permanent teeth will be faulty and will not last through the lifetime of the individual, the doc- tors in charge of the clinic say. During the past year the children's clinic has treated 560 children and has completed 348 cases. During the year all of the cases received on an average of two treatments a week for from three to four weeks to be completely fixed up. In the section where crooked teeth are straightened, 229 children were examined, 16 are under active treatment, 19 have their teeth braced to hold them in the proper position, 10 have had the braces removed and are still under observation to see that the straightening is successful, and twelve have been dismissed as successfully and permanently straightened. In the treatment section where cavi- ties are filled and the teeth cleaned, eight student doctors serve two half- days each per week for an eight-week period doing the practical work of the clinic. They are under the supervision of practicing dentists who superintend and instruct them in the proper methods of operating. Dr. F. B. Noyes is dean of the college. of dentistry, Dr. Elsie Gerlack is super- intendent of the children's clinic; Miss: Evalyn Norgaard is instructor in oral hygiene; Dr. B. O. Sippy is orthodon-' tist; and Dr. Mary Newell, instructor. in orthodonture.
