The .aim of this column is to pre
sent items, of general interest pertain
ing to dentistry, hints and thoughts
pertinent to the care of our teeth,
and how we as parents may augment the
program of dental health instruction
we propose to weave into the element
ary school classrooms.
For generations more than 4,000,000
people in the U.S.have lived all their
lives in area where the natural water
they drink contains a higher Concent
ration of fluorides than th© amounts
recommended for dental health. •
Dental carries is : commonly called
tooth decay.
Highly recommended fruits and veg
etables are oranges, grapefruit, toma
tos, and caggage; all rich in their
Vitamin C content. Try salt on your
grapefruit instead of sugar, especially
if you are calorie conscious.
There are 20 teeth .in the: first or
"baby" set of teeth5 also known as the
primary or deciduous teeth, 10 in each
jaw.
There are 32 teeth in the permanent
set, 16 in each j’aw. The last tooth
to erupt is the 3rd molar or "wisdom”
tooth-about the 17th or 18th year.
If applicable,encourage your child
ren to substitute milk, nuts, fresh
fruits and vegetables for some of the
sweetened drinks, candies and pastries
they now eat.
One (l) part of fluoine per 1 mil
lion (1,000,0rX>) parts of water is the
generally accepted ratio for ideal
drinking water. This may vary slight
ly, in various climates-slightly less
in hot, dry climates.
If you have any questions that you
would like answered please submit them
to the editor. We hope this column is
of sufficient interest to you-we will
greatly appreciate your response-by
either comment or question-the when,
where and why of dental care-fiuori
dation, hypnosis,eruption dates, orth
odontia (the straightening of teeth),
pedodontia (children's dentistry) are
but a few of dental problems that may
be covered.__
