HEALTH
Perhaps the most tragic mis
conception concerning teeth is the
belief prevalent among so many
mothers that baby teeth need no
attention because they will be lost
anyway. Carelessness about chil
d-en’s first teeth, arising from this
widespread misinformation, often
has serious results.
Baby teeth should be given the
j same careful attention as the per
manent teeth. Small cavities
[should be filled as soon as they
! are discovered. Each baby tooth
should be preserved for the whole
period of its usefulness; that is,
until it is naturally replaced by a
permanent tooth.
Premature loss of the baby
teeth can prevent the jaws fr>m
developing normally. The general
! health of the child may also be
impaired if the baby teeth are lost
too soon.
Usually, all the baby teeth are
in position by the time the child is
2Vi years old. Sometime during
! the sixth year, a swelling occurs
i behind each of the last baby mo
; lar teeth. These swellings indicate
; that the first permanent molar
I teeth—the sixth-year molars as
i they are called—are about to push
their way through the gums.
J Because these teeth do not re
place any of the first teeth, many
parents regard them as baby teeth
i and show them the same lack of
attention which they accord the
baby teeth.
, The first permanent molar teeth
are the first of the permanent set.
Their arrival in the dental arch
does not mean the loss of a baby
tooth. They erupt, usually unno
Iticely, behind the baby molars.
The first permanent molar teeth
| are the most important teeth of
the adult set. Their loss usually
causes the other permanent teeth
to come in crooked and prevents
the jaws from developing proper
ly. It also reduces chewing effi
ciency and is the first link in a
chain of dental destruction.
The Territorial department of
health or your local dentist will
be glad to answer any questions
regarding this article.
Navy Gives Kodiak
“Ultimatum”
♦ Continued from Page Onc>
Andrews had told him and L. J.
I Norman Kodiak businessmen, of
the civilian agreement,
“That is no concession at all,
Bettinger said. “It is an ultimatum
that will work great injury to
merchants of Kodiak.
“We have just wasted three
weeks here trying to get the navy
to do the fair thing by Kodiak. 1
shall remain awhile longer and
present our case to Congressional
committees to see if we cannot get
some relief.”
Bettinger said Andrews con
tended the navy must continue to
sell to civilian workers and other
government workers at Kodiak to
“keep the employees happy.”
The mayor previously had said
the navy stores at the Kodiak
naval base sold to about half or
the civilian population of the town
and that it is hurting business of
. the town.
i Bettinger said he and Norman
- were not given an opportunity to
i discuss the navy proposals.
“Mr. Andrews simply told us
‘Here is what we will do’ and then
1 came his ultimatum,” the mayor
1 said. “There was no compromise
s to it"
