Ask the dentist This is the fir s t in a senes of six articles on dental health published by the Portland Ob server, m cooperation with tne American Dental Association, in observance of National C hildren's Dental HealthWeek February 6 -1 2 . 1 have seen newspaper a rti cles recently which say that tooth decay w ill soon be com pletely eliminated asadisease problem. Is this really true? Tooth decay w ill not ce totally e iminated, at least in the foreseeable future. How ever, it can be prever ted in large part even today if you take advantage of proven public health measure , pro fessional treatment, and com plete home care. One of the well-established and most effective decay prx- ventives is fluoridation of public watei supplies. Today, more than 92 m illio n people in this nationdrinkfluoridated w a t e r . Many communities have had fluoridated water supplies fo r more than 20 years. The experience in these communities has demon strated that fluoridation re duces the incidence of decay in children by as much as 60 per cent. Its benefits are lifelong. Fluorides are being used in other ways to prevent decay, especially fo r people in com munities that do not have fluoridation. The American Dental Association recom mends the use of fluoride dent: if ices, particularly tor children. Additionally, fluo ride can 1« applied directly on children’ s teeth at periodic intervals. Many school dis tric ts pro- ide fluoridated water for school children. None of t esealte nateuses of fluoride is as effective as fluoridation of community water supplies, however. Scientists are studying a new plastic material which is applied to tooth surfaces to seal the pits and fissures In teeth to provide protection against to<Xh decay. The pits and fissures are especially prone to decay. Studies of the sealant ha e shown that it appears to form a b a rrie r betwee- the tooth surface and decay-causing bacteria which are always present in the mouth. Hre- lim i. ary investigations indi cate that the sealar.tmay with stand chewing forces in tne mouth for as long as a year. Because the sealant pro tects only the chewing sur faces of teeth, we must s till rely on fluoridation to protect the remainder of tie exposed tooth enamel. Scientists are studying o tle r metlods of preventing decay, including tiy.ng to iso late the specific bactei la which unite with foods and other debris tn tie mouth to form decay- ausing acids. Even today it is possible to reduce decay significantly if you drink fluoridate: water, practice good oral hygiene at home, a d see your dentist for regular checkups.

Heart disease related to social class Lonnie Palm er is a black farm er who eats th e wrong foods, lives in a drafty tene ment house, chew s tobacco, works seven Jays a week, nev e r takes a vacation, and occas- sionally drinks a I 1111 e whis key. Aubrey Strickland is a white m an *ho lives m a $40,000 h o m e , keeps a well balanced diet, rarely drinks and takes a three w e e k vacation ev e r y year. But, according to th e firs t biracial study of its kind, M r. Strickland, 3 50 year old bank executive, is m o r e likely to suffer a heart attack than M r. Palmer, a 51 year old share cropper - not because of race, hut because he lives at a high er social status level. A te n - y e a r investigation, th e prelim inary results o f which were published in th e December issue of the A m eri can Medical Association’ s A r chives o f Internal Medicine, documents a virtual immunity to coronary disease among the lower economic classes w ho work in the rural areas near Savannah, Georgia. T h e s tu d y tentatively in cludes t h a t all low-income people, regardless o f race, stand a better chance of avoid ing heart attacks th a n those above them on the socio-eco nomic scale. "W e think it means that, of all the ingredients of cardiac health, life -style is quite p ri- ma r y ” , s a id D r. C urtis M. Hames, an Evans County gen- e r a l practitioner w ho has guided the study since it began in I9o0. Like most other doc tors in rural Southern areas, he noticed th a t his black pa tients had fewer heart attacks than his white patients. Like many others he concluded it was a racial tra it. "B u t I be gan to doubt that assumption in the mid-l95O’ s when it be came clear that the same im munity could be observed in all of my patients from th e lower social achievement lev els,” he recalled. W ith regard to cardiovascu la r disease other than heart attack, th e black Americans, particularly poor blacks, have long been more likely to oe victim s th a n th e wealthier whites. Blacks suffer from a fa r higher incidence of h ig h blood pressure, s t r o k e and congestive heart failure. The study Involved 1 total of 3,102 persons o u t of E v a n County’ s population of 7,000, including everyone o v e r 40 years of age and half of those between 15 and 39. A battery of detailed Interviews ex plored n o t only the subjects own personal habits but sought medical information back sev eral generations.

Belter Drosses, Black families provide strength \ study made by the I rtvin L e a g u e , "The Strength of Black F a m ilie s," points out that ••examining the strengths of black families can conn 1- bute as much toward under- stamling and ameliorating some social problems as ex amining their weaknesses." The study, rev lewed in the curient issue ofthe La bo r De p a r t m e n t 's "Manpower” magazine, demonstrates that black fam ilies typically d is play: — stiong achievement o ri entation — stiong kinship bonds — adaptability of roles — sti ong religious orientation "B la cks generally are just as anxious to work and get ahead as whites, ami in some cases more so," according to D r.
