Vitamin D which we get from concentrates, and from Irradiated foods and those fortified with vita- | min D concentrate, is necessary for the proper utilization of the calcium and phosphorus, which must be generously supplied if the teeth are to develop properly. | { | Importance of Dental Hygiene Thus a carefully calculated diet, | beginning before birth and con- | tinuing throughout life, is neces- | sary to build teeth that are strue- | turally sound.

A Good Dentifrice Essential The selection of a dentifrice is most important because an agree- able dentifrice encourages thor- ough brushing—an efficient denti- frice helps to float away minute bits of food not reached by the toothbrush, It is also advisable to use a paste or powder which helps to restore luster to teeth which have been surface-stained by foods and beverages.
