Good Teeth—Fw You, Your Chßd I ■ Your Community By ERNEST A. BRANCH, D.D.S —- - - V mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrn The Council OB Dental Health j of the North Carolina Dental So ciety in sponsoring this aeries of articles on Dontal 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 explodes the popular belief that, because they are temporary, baby teeth do hot need to be cared for—that their premature loss is not a mat ter for concern. John dear, John dear, Can’t you guess the truth? John dear, the baby dear, Bless the little youth! Do get up and make the fire, Turn the lights a little higher, do and tell your Aunt Mariah, Baby’s got a tooth! It is doubtful that John dear, Aunt Mariah, or even the baby’s mother really appreciate the significance of I* boby’s new tooth and the other 19 he i will have by the time he is two or | two and a half years old. It is strange that parents who are so pleased and proud when each new tooth appears can become careless and neglectful of these, same priceless and beautiful baby teeth. As the title indicates these first teeth are of prime importance. In fact the scientific terms—primary, •deciduous, or foundation teeth—indi cate their place in the scheme of things dental. Even though these first teeth are deciduous, they are very important not only for themselves and the func tions they perform, but also in their Tole of laying the foundation for the GARDEN TIME ROBERT SCHMIDT N.C.STATE COLLEGE I During the next two or three II months is the best time to plant decid-; I nous trees of all kinds. That gives* It them a chance to get well settled by Ithe time the spring growing season! I arrives and they are more likely to I survive than if planted later. I In selecting trees to plant in the I farm yard or even on the front lawn should keep the pecan in mind. I| In addition to the crop of nuts pro -11 duced the pecan is a beautiful tree 11 and is as valuable for shade as any llof our deciduous trees. It is not nec ||essary to plant more than one tree in 11 order to get a crop of nuts although | la better crop may result if more than I lona tree or more than one variety are I (planted somewhere near by. I For eastern North Carolina we rec llomtnend the Stuart, Cape Fear and II Brake varieties. The Mahan variety I lis popular because of the large size 1 lof the nuts, but is not as resistant 11 to disease. For the Piedmont, the I [Stuart variety is probably most relia- I Ible and in the mountains only north- I lem varieties such as Indiana or Green I River should be planted. I In buying trees there is no ad- I vantage in getting the largest trees. I A five to six foot tree is a desirable I size and will not cost as much as a I larger one. Trees should be set slight- I ly deeper than they were in the nur- I sery and should be at least 60 feet I ipart so that they will not crowd ■ ivhen they are full grown. While pre ■ paring for planting take care that I the roots of the trees do not dry ■ jut. Place them in a tub of water or I sover them with wet burlap sacks. 1 Dig a hole large enough to take ■- are of the root system without crowd ■ ng and fill in around the roots with ■ top soil.

Indeed, it is very unlikely that the second teeth will be permanent unless they have followed good foundation teeth. Now, for a few facts. Baby’s first tooth usually appears when he is about six to eight months old. How ever, at birth all twenty bAby teeth Were under his gums, deep in the bones of his jaws. They began to form early in.prenatal life. The first teeth to erupt are central incisors, lower incisors first and then upper incisors. Os course, the time of erup tion of all primary teeth varies with different children. When the child has all of his 20 primary teeth, usually by the time he is two and a half years ,of age, the accomplishment might be appropriate ly observed and celebrated by a visit to the dentist. The dentist and moth er should make this quite an occasion. A pleasant experience and the estab lishment of a friendly relationship be tween the child and the dentist will influence for good the child’s future attitude toward “going to the den tist.” ' ' Early and regular visits to the den tist will help prevent many tooth trou bles for the child. The early discov ; ery and filling of cavities will not only prevent pain, but will also save the teeth. And they should be sav ed. The child needs them to chew ; with. They are also needed to serve as space retainers and guides for the second teeth. Their remaining in the ; child’s mouth until their successors are ready to replace them will do much toward insuring straight, even, i and permanent second teeth. . Look in your child’s mouth and act • accordingly. In the next article Dr. Branch will t discuss, “the most important tooth.” as the buds are swelling apply a well j balanced garden fertilizer underneath the spread of the branches at the rate ,of 2 pounds for each year of age of ■ the tree from the time of planting.

Young men are now able to enlist in the Ma rine Corps and have their service start immediately but they will not have to go on active duty until Janu ary or February. The men will go to Raleigh and if they pass all the ex aminations in the Marine Corps Re serve for a period of three or four ■years, then they will be sent home with orders directing them to report to active duty after the holidays.
