SECTION TWO—I Good Teeth—For You, Your Child Your Community . By ERNEST A. BRANCH, D.D.S 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 Hygiene of the North Caro lina State Hoard of Health. Why, When, and How to Brush Your Teeth Some of you may recall the adage, or add, “a clean tooth never decays.” This claim, which could not be sub stantiated and which was frowned on 1 by the authorities who pass on such matters, was soon dropped. However, j recent research studies and experi ments present evidence that this may not have been mere propaganda. Os course, the catch is in the interpre tation of a clean tooth and in the dif ficulty of keeping one’s teeth clean. I The results of carefully controlled ex periments indicate that dental caries j can be materially reduced by brush ing the teeth thoroughly within ten 1 minutes after each ingestion of food or sweets, or, when brushing is im possible, by rinsing the mouth thor oughly with water. The findings of this research indi cate the answer as to when to brush your teeth—as soon as possible after eating. This means after every snack as well as after every meal. It is ob vious that most of us cannot do this, for many meals are eaten away from home and proximity to tooth brush ing facilities. But most of us are like the farmer who did not need to buy a book on farming, because he ‘‘was not doing half as good as he knew how.” In our educational pro gram in the schools we stress brush ing the teeth after breakfast, after the evening meal, and as many times as possible in between. A very important part of keeping teeth clean is the tooth brushing tech nique. There is more to it than you think. To help the children learn the correct method, we say, “brush the teeth the way they grow, the upper teeth down and the lower teeth up, and don’t forget the insides and the chewing surfaces.” It takes time—at least two minutes. Try timing your self. And take especial note of brush ing down on the uppers and up on the ' • Just Price this Beautiful New Pontiac! e FINE-CAR POWER CONTROLS*— Pontiac offers you all of the modem power and driving conveniences—im proved Power Steering, new Power Brakes, new Electric Window Lifts, Air Conditioning and the famous Dual-Range Hydra-Matic Drive.

We prefer a small tooth brush with flat, widely spaced bristles. It should be firm but not too hard and stiff. It is best to have two tooth brushes and to use them al ternately. Tooth paste and tooth pow der are both good. Their main func tion is to act as a cleansing agent just as soap does. A safe rule is to ; look on the package for the approval of the Council on Dental Therapeutics ' of the American Dental Association. 1 ; Soda and salt make a very acceptable 1 1 and inexpensive dentifrice. Combine ' i them in the proportion of two parts ■j of soda to one part of salt. To summarize, we quote the fol-. lowing rules from a publication of the j American Dental Association. , “Brush the teeth immediately af ter eating. i j Brush the upper teeth with a down j ward motion. Brush the lower teeth with an up- I ward motion. Brush the chewing surfaces with a scrubbing stroke. Brush each area at least ten times. Brush the surfaces next to the ton gue as well as those next to the cheek. Brush the teeth of each jaw sepa : rately in a definite order. Place the bristles of the brush to- j • ward the roots of the teeth, i Rotate the brush so that the bristles ■ sweep down over the gums and teeth' ! j in the direction of the biting or grind -1 • ing surface.” M Even though you brush your teeth ‘ regularly and well you should have ’ your dentist clean them about twice a RECIPES FOR TASTY ~ LENTEN DISHES ‘ mrnmmmmmmm r Learn new way to prepare appetiz . ing dishes for the Lenten season.

This helps to prevent a common mouth con- i dition known as gingivitis. It also' helps the dentist to find any small cavities —and to fill them before it is too late. Next week Dr. Branch will discuss Diet and Dental Health. !*: : 1 ' » —v ! Weekly Devotional i Column ! By James Mackenzie k ' Last week I discussed what I con sider to be the chief cause of juvenile delinquency: lack of consideration on the part of parents and other adults 1 for the rights and privileges of chil dren. This week I would like to touch on another cause, one quite dis-. ferent from the first: too much con- 1 1 sideration on the part of parents and other adults for the rights and privi- I leges of children. ! Pity the pampered child, the child ,who has always had his own way, in other words, the spoiled brat, for he is | the most unhappy child of them all. 'You will find one or two of these kids ' in any fair-sized group of children— the little hoy who won’t play base ball unless he can be the pitcher, the little girl who won’t play school un less she Can be teacher, the cry-baby, the bully, each is a victim of parents who don’t care enough about their child’s development to punish him when he does wrong, or even to teach him the difference between right and wrong. For whenever a child is like I this it is because his parents have al- I A-ays let him have his own way. If he wants to stay out late at night and roam the streets, he is free to do so; if he refuses to do nis share of the work around the house, or to obej 0 0 "ye <o&° «•>* COMFORT-CONTROL SEAT*— There’s perfect comfort for anv driver with Pontiac’s exclusive, fully adjustable front seat that moves forward and back ward, up and down and tilts at a touch. *Optional at extra cost. p r ~ - N J* i# "Vr- J| f\ -A., j* f ~ 'Msjk his mother or dad, no one objects. 'And when a child is trained to believe that others exist only to humor him and gratify his whims, it seems al [most impossible for him ever to learn the law of give and take. The chances are that he will become a criminal when he grows up, for he has never been taught to respect the rights and privileges of others. There is no longer any authority in many of our Wbiwes; or else, there is just as much authority as ever, but it 1 jis in the hands of the children. Some one has suggested that the modem concept of progressive education is re ! sponsible for this situation, 'but I do j not think so. Someone else has sug ! gosted ' that some parents just love their children too much to deny them anything, or to punish them, hut I do; not think it is that, either. Frankly, i I feel that some parents are just too Hzy to punish their children; they find it easier to give in to their demands than to put a stop to them. The Bi ble says. “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: hut he that loveth him: ehasteneth him betimes . . . Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the 1 rod, and shalt deliver his soul from! hell” (Proverbs 13:14; 23:13,14). Per haps some parents who constantly pat their children on the back might do well to pat them a little lower and a little harder.
