Page Eight Good Teeth —For You, Your Chid Your Community By ERNEST A. BRANCH, D.D.S I The Council on Dental Health of the North Carolina Dental So ciety is sponsoring this series of articles on Dental Health. The writer, Dr. Ernest A. Branch, is the Director of the Division of Oral Higiene of the North Caro- State Board of Health. In this, the first of the series Dr. Branch poses a very personal and perti nent question. HOW MANY TEETH HAVE YOU? One of the anecdotes in dental lore tells of a pseudo-scientist who, boast ing about his profound knowledge of astronomy to the learned Gamaliel, said “The number of stars is well known to me.” To this the wise Gam aliel replied, “Tell me how many teeth you have.” In a state of utter ig norance and confusion the boaster put his hand to his mouth and began to count them. From personal experience we know that some wise and well educated peo ple of our day would have to profess ignorance on this point. To many more the question would cause great embarrassment and regret. If you can answer thirty-two you have a per fect score, not only on your I. Q., but also on your tooth quotient. And, if you have this perfect score, you are among the very fortunate minority. A survey of 225,000 school children in our State showed that one out of every five, or twenty per cent, of these children, under sixteen years of age, had already lost or needed to lose one or more of their permanent teeth Among the adult population the per centage is much higher. In the early days of the draft one requirement was that the applicant should have at least four opposing posterior teeth. This standard was soon lowered as so few young men could qualify. Plates or bridges became almost standard equipment. It is feared that this generation will have lost half of their teeth before the age of 40. The villain in this situation is a di sease called dental caries, the most prevalent of all human ills. All of us should be vitally interested in its control. Indeed, every individual must be concerned, for the price of freedom from this enemy is eternal vigilance. Dental caries cannot be completely conquered by external measures as can yellow fever, malaria, typhoid fev er, and many other diseases. It is true that dental scientists have dis covered ways of helping reduce the in cidence of tooth decay. These meas ures, the fluoridation of municipal wa ter supplies and the topical application of sodium fluoride to children’s teeth offer great promise and will be dis cussed in subsequent articles. They will never replace certain effective steps which can and should be taken by every individual.

SOLD IN EDENTON BY Mitchener’s Pharmacy IHIIHiWffHWIfI- I AustiftoNlchols j laawMMteteJ ities in the field of dentistry and den tal research is that there are three j essential factors in the control of tooth decay. These three measures are: 1. Regular visits to the dentist for ; the early detection and correction of dental defects. 2. A well balanced diet and temper ance in the consumption of sweets. 3. Proper and regular cleaning of ' the teeth as soon as possible after ' eating. Perhaps many of you are thinking that in your own case the damage has i already been done. This may be true, but you may still be able'to make the best of a bad situation by following these simple procedures. And you can certainly help your children to profit by your experience and your know ledge. After we have talked to a civic , club, a parent-teacher association, or i even to a group of public health work ers about our dental health education program in the schools, the lament so : frequently heard is, “Why didn’t ■ someone teach me to take care of my teeth when I was young?” That is . certainly the time to start on this three-point program of prevention. , In the next article Dr. Branch an- < swers the question, “why do you need . good teeth ? ” I Earl 0. Shreve New ' Savings Bonds Director i Chief Justice Warren of the U. S. Supreme Court Wednesday of last week administered the oath of office to Earl O. Shreve of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as National Director of the United States Savings Bonds Division ' of the Treasury Department. Earl O. Shreve was sworn in as the new National Director of the U. S. Savings Bonds Division of the Treas . ury Department at a colorful cere mony in room 4121, Main Trasury Building. The oath of office was ad ministered in the presence of Secre tary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey and other Treasury and ; Savings Bond officials.
