EARLY CARE OF TEETN IMPORTANT
FOR CONTINUED DENTAL HEALTH
February 3 through 9 is the
15th annual National Children’s
Dental Health Week. As part of
the observance. The Frontiers
man, in cooperation with the
local dental society, gives some
typical questions asked about
dental health, and authorita
tive answers.
(1.) When should my child be
taken to the dentist for the first
time?
As soon as he has all of his
primary teeth, between the
ages of 2 Vi and 3. On this first
visit the child has a chance to
become acquainted with the
dentist, his office and his
equipment. Usually the dentist
will clean and x-ray the child’s
teeth. Since half of all 2-year
olds have one or more decayed
teeth, it may also be necessary
for the dentist to restore a
tooth. The dentist will suggest
how often the child should re
turn for subsequent check-ups.
(2.) Why should my child's
teeth be taken care of? He’ll
lose them anyhow.
One reason is that a child’s
first teeth are not really “baby”
teeth, since some of them re
main in his mouth until he is
11 or 12 years old. At least they
will if his teeth are properly
taken care of.
Primary teeth are needed for
exactly the same reasons per
i manent teeth are needed—for!
; chewing, for appearance and |
for speaking. In addition, the!
primary teeth hold the spaces i
for the permanent teeth, there-1
by preventing many orthodon-1
tic problems.
(3.) Why do dentists warn1
against giving sweets to child
ren between meals?
Since an acid attack follows
each consumption of sweets, it
is especially important that
they not be eaten as between
meal snacks. Freqeuncy of eat
ing, more than amount eaten,
determines the damage sugar
does to teeth. Also, youngsters

are less likely to brush their
teeth alter a snack than after
a meal.
One other point: Foods that
require thorough chewing, such
as fresh fruits and raw vege
tables, play an important role
both in keeping the mouth
clean and in providing the
muscles used for chewing with
the exercise they need. Such
foods are excellent for be
tween-meal snacks, and fresh
fruits can also be given to chil
dren for dessert.
(4.) My neighbor told me her
dentist says that teeth can last
a lifetime. Is this possible?
Yes, it is possible. Teeth are
designed to last a lifetime. You
and your children can keep
your own teeth if you conscien
tiously follow the rules of pre
ventive dentistry.
The first thing to be recog
nized is that teeth require daily
care if they are to remain in
good health. This means eat
ing a balanced diet low in
sweets and always brushing
your teeth immediately after
eating. In addition, it is im
portant that you visit your den
tist regularly so that any den
tal problems that do develop
can be taken care of prompt
ly.
Children who, from birth,
drink water containing 1 part
per million fluoride have up to
60 per cent less decay than
might otherwise develop.
Where the water is not fluori
dated, topical applications of
fluoride are of value in help
ing to prevent decay.
(5.) Whaf is meant by topi
cal application of fluorides?
Applying a fluoride solution
directly to the teeth. This is
done in areas which do not
have fluoridated water sup
plies. How much it reduces de
cay varies from child to child.
But studies have shown that it
is an effective preventive mea
sure that can be used to pro
tect a child’s teeth against de
cay.
When fluoride is applied, the
dentist’s first step is to clean
the child’s teeth. Then he puts
a solution of either sodium flu
oride or stannous (tin) fluoride
on the teeth.
Wha’ Hoppen To
“Ho Bake” (.oilers?
Lost or strayed — 250 of 300
letters mailed a couple of
weeks ago by the Palmer PTA
ways and means committee to
members of the parent-teacher
association.
By early this week only 50
had been returned, the commit
tee reported. The letters public
ized a “no-bake bake sale.” a
plan by which members would
contribute $2 apiece, rather
than to bake for, and buy from,
a bake sale, or to organize
some other means of earning
funds. Included was a form to
be checked if the member pre
fers a means of making money
other than the “no-bake" idea,
and a stamped, return-address
ed envelope.
Committee members stated
that a good response to the
letters is necessary in order to
carry out this year’s ways and
means program, and asked that
a special effort be made to re
turn the letters this week.
“Ways and means” members
are Mary Combs, Renie Barnes,
and Helen Beal.
