Homemaking Tips By Mist Bertha Landis Home Demonstration Agent The war against tooth decay should never end. The toll of tooth decay is greater than most people imagine. "We know that in Indiana, on the average, children have one permanent tooth affected by decay by the time they are 6 years oW’’ says George Nuffer, rural health specialist at Purdue University. “This rises steadily at the rate of about one permanent tooth per year, so that by the time children are 16 they will have about 8 permanent teeth affected.” Unless adequate preventative and control measures are applied, the children of today will lose half of their teeth by the time they are 40 years old. Fortunately there are ways to keep dental defects from becoming such a large problem. Among them are early and regular care, good nutrition and less sweets, proper toothbrushing and the use of fluorides. Early and regular visits to the dentist have many advantages, small defects can be found early, 10*8 timij required and the overa|j enprt is feqi, daily diet provides the materials the body needs to build strong teeth. The reduction of -between-meal swwets and starches can prevent much tooth decay. , Tpothbrushing can -do much to reduce tooth decay if it is done property and at the right time. Shnpiy chrunlng up a mouthful of foam does little to clean the teeth unless all surfaces are thoroughly scrubbed. Brushing after meals does the most to remove food particles that produce decay. If brushing then is not possible, rinsing the mouth with water helps. Fluorides applied by the dentist to the teeth will prevent 40% of new decay. Adjustment of public water supplies to the optimum fluoride level is a safe, effective way to reduce decay and approved by all major health organizations. Trade in a Goon svwn — Decatur
