People don’t seem to think of dental health in that way. But they should. Almost 100% of our population is afflict ed. Come to think of it, our den tists represent the largest group of doctors exclusively trained to treat a single health problem. But our record in controlling dental caries should be much bet ter. The professional help is avail able but people don’t take suffi cient advantage of it. Where expense is a problem, there is talk of a “Blue Cross” kind of coverage. But above all, people apparently are not sufficiently motivated. I say this because I am convinced that regular trips to your dentist save money—and are cheapest in the long run. So I urge you to see your dentist regularly. Preventive Care But let’s talk about the kind of care that can prevent or minimize dental problems. Nutrition cer tainly isn’t a be-all, end-all with regard to dental health. But we believe that good nutrition has to make a contribution to dental health, whereas bad nutrition cer tainly can cause dental problems. Let’s take infants as an exam ple. The newborn child's mouth contains the beginnings of 52 teeth. Since the unborn child de pends upon its mother for nour ishment, this means a pregnant woman’s diet must be adequate in calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D if the child’s dental and other bone development are to be suf ficient. With an insufficient diet, the baby’s start on tooth develop ment may be impaired or may be the baby will override the mother’s needs, causing the moth er herself to lose valuable stores of calcium and phosphorus. An infant’s teeth, of course, do not protrude through the gums until about the sixth month of life. But the living structures for teeth were formed before birth and continue to develop after It Shakes. Ift Stainless Steel. It Handles All Feeds. It’s A Combination Feeder & Bonk.

The dentine and enamel of your teeth are inert. But the pulp of teeth contains nerves and blood vessels. Your teeth are also fas tened to bones by a membrane that is living material. So are the bony ridges of the upper and lower jaw in which your teeth are imbedded. So, our teeth are hardly “dead” stuff. And dental health depends upon good nutrition both super ficially and basically. Superficial nutritional abuse of our teeth ob viously includes eating sticky, sweet foods and not cleaning our teeth properly after eating. Basic NOTICE _R, S.
