Beauty Chats

PRETTY TEETH TOO much emphasis cannot be laid upon the fact that the teeth must be given dally brushings and must be looked after by a good dentist every half year. Poor teeth will spoil the best shaped mouth, will ruin a smile. Teeth neglected so that they have to be pulled, cause hollows in the cheeks, and lines around the mouth, where the hollow gums shrink. Teeth that grow in wrong, or were neglected wires and screws for this, but this form of discomfort is done away with by more taodem practitioners. These

use soft wedges, taking them out and replacing them frequently. For general care of the teeth, two dally brushings should be the rule when young, often cause badly shaped chins. Children and babies who are allowed to suck their fingers usually grow up with protruding lips, badly formed jawbones, and receding chins. The receding chin and protruding teeth combination give a look of stupidity to the face that takes away any other good looks. A good dentist can remedy this, frequently, by gradually spacing the teeth so they grow straight instead of outward. In other cases, where the jaw is badly formed and the teeth are jagged, small wedges are put between, spacing the teeth away from each other, and so giving them room to grow properly.
