One of our patients told us recently of a good Joke she played on one of her friends. "What beautiful teeth you have!" the friend exclaimed.

After some more talk back and forth between them, the lady with "the beau tiful teeth" said: "I am going to con fess to you these teeth are ALL FAI-SE. They are the famous Alveolar teeth without plates or brldgework. They are mine." she ssld, "for I bought and paid for them, but I am not tell ing everybody that." And the friend said she wss going to have some teeth like those if she had to have some of hers extracted to make room for them. The point of the story is this: The Alveolar teeth are so near like the best that Nature can supply that not only do they deceive one's friends, but dentists as well. And they are not alone beautiful to look at, but they are Just as fine to eat with, for once In place they are as firm as a rock.
