3 The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Nov. 28, 1968—PAGE 8 Cure Toothaches Before They Start In bygone days, some people believed that kissing a donkey would cure a toothache. Others believed that a sprig of parsley hung around the neck would pre vent a toothache. While modern dentistry has dispelled odd super stitions, there are still misconcep tions about dental health. During the week of Feb. 4 through 10, the nation will ob serve the 20th anniversary of Na tional Children’s Dental Health Week. Its purpose is to provide sound dental health information to children and parents, and to remove misconceptions about den tal health. Today, people don’t go around kissing donkeys, but some still be lieve that dental caries (decay) — the cause of a toothache—can be cured. It can't. Dental decay can be removed from a tooth and the tooth filled. And, with proper care —by cleaning the teeth after meals and by cutting down on sweets— the decay possibly won’t recur. Decay can be prevented—not by parsley, but by fluoridation. Countless studies of children in fluoridated communities have proved that fluoride in the water prevents decay by about 65 per cent. And, if fluoride is not in the water, the dentist can either paint a child's teeth with a fluoride sub stance, or he can prescribe dietary fluorides. The American Dental Association says some fluoride toothpastes are recognized as effec tive in decay prevention. Here are some important facts about dental health: —Baby (primary) teeth are important. 1 hey save the proper eruption space for permanent teeth and are necessary for chew ing, speech and appearance. —Milk does not prevent de cay, it helps the teeth form pro- perly. —Sweets are a causative factor in decay and their consumption should be limited, probably to meal times. —A great proportion of chil dren have some type of gum dis ease. If untreated, the disorders will become more serious as the child grows. Gum disease is the greatest cause of adult tooth loss. —Destroyed tooth enamel can not be repaired. If a tooth stops aching, this means the pulp has been infected—an indication of real trouble. Very few people are "im mune” to dental decay. Approxi mately 98 per cent of the popula tion suffers from caries. But regular toothbrushing, fluorida tion and routine dental care will greatly reduce decay. R. A.

'£ COR* £ One Day, We Had This Idea • • Why not direct an advertisement to the women to save money and for the time being forget the men. The reason for this is due to a recent survey which shows that women spend 85% of the family income. So, dear ladies, pay yourself first, don’t spend it all on the family. For instance, if you can’t save but 5% do that each pay day and you’ll be surprised what it will amount to with our compounded dividends. Then when your savings get large enough transfer them to “Savings Certificates” and earn as high as 5Vi% per annum. Why not try it for six months, and then tell us how happy you are that you saved it. AVI MGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION SAVINGS INSTITUT FOUNDED DIRECTORS John F. Clarkson J. K. Willingham E. B. Purcell W.
