In some mouths tartar accumulates in spite of the most careful daily attention. In such cases the dentist should be consulted, for decay soon sets in and the breath becomes offensive.

This acid fir acids act quickly upon the enamel, bringing cavities as well as yellowness. To prevent any tendency to acidity. A mouthful of the milk of magnesia should be taken every night befcre retiring, allowing it to penetrate into every nook and cranny of the mouth.
