Matching Teeth.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty that dentists meet with is the matching of false teeth with the natural teeth of their customers. The tooth factories supply dentists with rings upon which are strung thin, short metal bars, each carrying a tootlyit its extremity. There are twenty-five of these sample teeth, that run all the way from nearly white to a shade that is almost olive. Some one of the twenty five usually almost matches the patient’s natural teeth, and, at any rate, enables the dentist to match the teeth by application at the factory.
