HAPPINESS IS DEPENDENT UPON HEALTH Health la dependent upon digestion. Digestion is dependent upon mastication. • Mastication Is dependent upon teeth. Good teeth are a continuous pleasure to those who possess them. An occasional thought about your teeth, is a profitable habit, ow long la it since a dentist has told you the condition of your teeth, Operations that my patients receive, create a satisfaction they want to tell the neighbors about- Prices meet the ordinary purse. 7 You need to know the news I will tell you about your teeth.
