LIGHT ON THE TEETH.

A new method of dentistry is being introduced in Paris in the form of treatment of the teeth by ultra-violet rays. Such rays from a mercury lamp, it is claimed, have the power of whitening discolored teeth and sterilising them in such a way that they are not so easily liable to decay. The teeth to be treated are isolated from the rest, which aie covered with a rubber shield. The face, too, is protected by a mask. The teeth are then washed with oxvgenerated water and exposed for an hour to the direct action of the rays. It is stated that the teeth acquire a lustre like that of pearls. Two sittings a year are recommended to keep the teeth in good condition.
