' Good Teeth—For You, Your Child

The Council on Dental Health
of the North Carolina Dental So
coiety is sponsoring: this series of
articles on Dental Health. The
writer, Dr. Ernest A. Branch, is
the Director of the Division of
Oral Hygiene of the North Caro
lina State Board of Health. In
this article, Dr. Branch answers
another question.
WHY DO YOU NEED
GOOD TEETH?
The very obvious answer to this is, 1
“The better to chew with, my dear.’* f
We might add the better looking to be,
with and the healthier to ber with. A
more dignified and grammatical an
swer is that good teeth are desirable
because of their esthetic and health
values.
It has been truly said that “noth
ing does more to aid good appearance
and beauty than a full set of healthy,
well-formed teeth.” Conversely, noth
ing detracts from good looks more
than unsightly teeth. To present an
attractive appearance, teeth need
not be perfectly shaped and spaced,
but they do need to be there and in a
clean, healthy condition.
Let’s take a tip from Hollywood.
Have you ever seen a glamorous her
oine of the screen with teeth that mar
her smile? Os course not, for the
screen stars are aware of the im
portance of good looking teeth to their
careers. This tooth conscious attitude
of the film star is one which might
well be emulated by others. For man
or woman, adult or youth, beautiful
teeth are definitely an asset, both
socially and economically. The busi
ness executive, salesman, teacher, sec
retary, college student, and teenager'

Fall is the time of year for catch
ing really big fish of all species. But
it is only ba.ss, and these just in the
most northern states, that call for dif
ferent angling methods from those
used in the spring and summer.
The first good fall fishing period
usually begins somewhere around the
first of October. The bass have mov- (
ed in from the scattered, deep holes
and they are feeding voraciously. Ja-1
son Lucas. Sports Afield’s angling edi
tor, says he has found the best fish
ing in water of moderate depth—B to
12 feet deep. Th ideal spot is some- j
where around this depth along the
outer edge of a weedbed. Where there j
are no weeds, a similar depth at a
charp drop-off is a vbry good bet.
Use a fast-moving deep-running plug.
As for color and size of lure, use
about the same that you used earlier
in the Season.
The second good fishing period be
gins after a hard frost or two, when
the. weeds have dried and sunk to the
bottom and the water is crystal-clear.
This is the time for the really big
bass. As in the early fall fishing,
bass are inclined to stick to water
about 8 to 12 feet deep.
Trolling is the simplest way to find
them—this is the one time of the year
in mos f Places when trolling is about
as good as casting. And this is th'e
only time when a plug moving stead
ily seems to get them about as well
as one that’s jerked and stopped.
With either method, it’s a good trick
to go in a long zig-zag down the .
shoreline to try water of different
depths.
When you catch one, stop. If you
are trolling with a long line out, back
up to the spot where he struck. This
is the time of year when it’s more
than likely that a number of bass are
close together there. The best and
quickest way to find out is to stop
and cast around in a circle.
A plug that runs 8 feet deep is all j
you need. Most of the time it seems '
useless to try anything else. A dull-I
colored plug is almost invariably best

know that good teeth contribute to a
pleasing personality. What kind of
teeth does your smile show?
Even more important is the rela
tionship of teeth to health. Diges
tion starts in the mouth, hence the
health of the mouth influences this
life process. While the teeth are do
ing their part in preparing food for
digestion, substances in the saliva are
producing the first digestive changes
in the starches.
I Therefore, thorough chewing of food
1 is necessary, not only as a mechanical
aid, but also as a factor in the prop
!er functioning of the digestive sub
stances of the saliva. Os course, prop- 1
'er chewing depends upon good teeth,
and adequate nutrition depends upon
being able to chew.
As potential sources of infection, di
seased teeth and gums may affect
very seriously the health of the body.
They harbor germs and bacteria and
provide favorable conditions for their
propagation. Even more serious is
the fact that diseased teeth may con
stitute a focal point from which infec
tion enters the blood stream. This is
called focal infection and may affect
very seriously the health of the in
dividual. Many of the degenerative
diseases, that is, diseases of the heart,
lungs, and kidneys, are caused by fo
cal infection and often these diseases
start in childhood.
It will be agreed then that good
teeth are a health and personality as
set. Results justify the effort re
quired to give them the proper care.
Learn the facts about teeth and their
care and act accordingly.
In the next article Dr. Branch will
begin at the beginning to explain the
’ facts about teeth.
j —perhaps the clarity of the water ao
' counts for this. Use fairly large plugs,
Isay % ounce. Retrieve very slowly,
I and the closer tg freeze-up the slower
the retrieve should be.
The bass will fight in slow-motion,
too. So your big thrill comes from
the excellent chance of catching a
lunker worth mounting. Or from his
delicate, delicious flavor—far superior
*to what he’d have at any other time
j of the year.
|lt Isn’t True)
t “I can tell I don’t have TB because
I don’t feel sick.” When you hear
anyone make that statement, speak
right up and say, “It isn’t true.”
Tuberculosis is an insidious disease. >
A person may feel perfectly well and
yet have the disease in its early stag
! es.
| By the time the familiar symptoms
, of TB appear on the scene—incessant
cough, fever, night sweats, and loss
of weight—the disease has probably
been at work for some time and cur
ing the patient may be a long and
difficult job.
TB found early is relatively quick
and easy to cure. Before long, the
patient is out of the hospital, back
home, and back on the job.
How can you tell whether or not
you have TB ? There is one sure way
—chest X-ray.
Every adult should go to his doc
tor for a physical checkup and a chest
X-ray once a year, oftener if there is
reason to suspect that he has been
exposed to infection from an active
case of TB. The eye of the X-ray
can see beneath the surface. With
this and other scientific tests, the doc
tor can discover tuberculosis before
there are any obvious outward signs
of the disease.
You may feel fine, but a chest X
ray can help you make sure that you
don’t have TB. x
Love is the greatest gift of the gods
if you have any idea of what we j
mean.
