Save Your Teetl!

By W. T. Hsnayhan. There is a craze that has gone too far nowadays for teeth removal. Infected teeth should be removed, but indiscriminate action on mo suspicion should be discouraged. It is uo uncommon occurrence to , r. ,e a young person, in fairly good health, present a mouth from wuich, every tooth has been extract .:, and the patient compelled to wear plates botli top and bottom. The matter of losing teeth is of much moment, from a cosmetic as well as utilitarian aspect. There should bo geed and sufficient reason for renw of any tooth, and to my mind the tooth that doesn’t show evidenc. of infection, either through inspection, or X-ray examination, even if dead or pulpless, should bo left untouched. This view, I am pleased to note, is discussed in the ‘ Dental Cosmos * as follows: “The hysterical fear aroused in the raird of the average dental operator as to the latent possibilities for’ barm in tho pulpless tooth, imp.essively stressed by the medical man, has created an attitude of mind in the average dental operator favourable to the removal of all sucli teeth. It should be remembered that we are confronted in the case of the pulpless tooth with the question of bacterial invasion, and the objective of our c.Torts is to prevent it or to bring about its elimination. It is not the pulpless tooth per se that is tho pathological menace, but the disease-producing organisms that have gained entrance to the tooth that constitute the danger. It is therefore the infective focus that should be the point of attack rather than the tooth itself.” Thus this foremost dental journal points out a view constituting the method long practised at the London Dental Parlours. Consistency and reason should indicate the ground to be followed in the treatment of a patient’s mouth. Natural teeth should bo preserved.-
