NLY RECENTLY HAS THE PUBLIC AT LARGE
S* \_ J recognized the great part that DENTISTRY plays
as a preventative of disease. They are just beginning
// to realize that the mouth is the greatest channel through
which infections find access to the system and, as a result, are
seeking the services of competent dentists at regular intervals
for examination and needed dental service.
IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT PEOPLE APPRECIATE that the condition
of the teeth and gums has a direct relation to their general health. People whose gums
are spongy and infected, whose teeth are decayed and unsightly are constantly in jeop
ardy of becoming victims of infectious diseases.
. IT HAS, HOWEVER, 'BEEN CONCEDED BY DENTISTS that the most B
expedient way by which to avoid tooth troubles lies, not so much in trying to cure the
diseases, as in preventing the teeth from becoming diseased. )
